A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it if you have an open cut, or if blood has soaked into carpet, wood or grout. When in doubt, call a blood cleanup company.
Employers have to protect workers who may be exposed, and the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies. A small spill may be cleaned up by staff who have the right training and supplies on site. Larger spills or blood that soaked in call for a commercial blood cleanup team.
Yes. Dried blood can still carry germs, and some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last on surfaces for a long time. Scraping or scrubbing dried blood can also put particles into the air, so it should be handled with protection and disinfected.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
Use disposable gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and a disinfectant that is EPA-registered for bloodborne pathogens. Follow the label for how long the surface must stay wet. Bag the used materials and keep them away from other people.
One call starts the cleanup, disinfection and disposal.
