Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.
Urine soaks into padding, subfloor and mattress layers, and bacteria keep releasing odor from there. Surface cleaning does not reach it. Removing the soaked materials is usually what ends the smell.
Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.
Crews follow rules designed to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when blood or other body fluids are present. Rental housing and sanitation rules vary by city and county.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
One call starts the removal, disinfection and disposal.
