Questions About Cleaning Up Blood in Durham
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the blood, do not wipe it up bare-handed and take photos if you can. Write down what the blood touched so the crew knows where to look.
Is bleach enough to clean blood?
Bleach can disinfect some hard surfaces when it is used by the label, but it does not reach blood that has soaked into porous materials. It should never be mixed with other cleaners because the fumes can be dangerous. A cleanup team uses a full process.
How long does blood cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the spill and the materials involved. A small spill on tile is a short job. Blood that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed and the area disinfected.
How do you clean up blood?
Safely cleaning up blood means gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and an EPA-registered disinfectant used by the label. A small spill on a hard surface can be managed with that protection. Large spills, or blood that soaked into carpet or wood, call for a cleanup team.
Do I need a blood spill cleanup service after a nosebleed or minor cut?
Usually not. Small amounts of blood on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant. A cleanup service becomes useful when the spill is large, has soaked in, reached several rooms or involved another person's blood.
Is blood a biohazard?
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
