When professional cleanup may be appropriate
When blood reaches absorbent or difficult-to-access materials, visible cleanup alone may not address the full affected area.
Before cleanup begins
- Keep people and pets away from the affected area when practical.
- Avoid unnecessary contact with blood, bodily fluids or contaminated material.
- If emergency responders or law enforcement still control the scene, wait until it is released.
- Do not assume that a surface is fully addressed simply because visible material has been removed.
