What Merrill Residents Ask About Blood Cleanup
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.
Should I use cloth towels or paper towels to clean up blood?
Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.
Do blood cleaners handle blood in a vehicle?
Yes. Blood on seats, floor mats, door panels and in trunks is cleaned and disinfected, and heavily soaked upholstery may need removal. Vehicle jobs follow the same protective steps as work inside a building.
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.
Can I clean a small blood spill myself?
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.
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.
