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.
Wash the skin with soap and water right away, and rinse the eyes or mouth with clean water if blood splashed there. Then talk with a doctor or the local health department about next steps. This is general information, not medical advice.
Surface stains may lift, but blood that soaked through carpet and padding can sit in the subfloor and keep carrying germs and odor. In that case the soaked carpet and padding are cut out and disposed of as waste.
Items heavily soaked with blood or that could release liquid blood are handled as regulated medical waste. A small amount on a lightly stained item is treated differently. A blood cleanup company can sort what must be removed and how.
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.
Cleanup begins only after law enforcement releases the scene. A crime scene cleaning team then removes blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials, disinfects the affected area and treats odor. Family members should not clean it themselves.
