Common Questions About Urine and Feces Cleanup in Westwood

Can you get sick from cleaning up human feces?

Yes. Touching feces or contaminated surfaces and then your mouth, nose or eyes can spread germs. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands well afterward and keep children and pets away.

Is there a chemical that dissolves human feces?

Not one that is safe to pour on a floor or carpet. Dissolving waste spreads it deeper into materials. The right method is to lift the waste, remove soaked porous items and disinfect the surface.

Can a mattress or couch be saved after urine or feces?

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.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

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.

Is human feces a biohazard?

Yes. Human feces can carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, hepatitis A and norovirus. In large amounts, or when it soaks into building materials, it is cleaned with protective gear and disinfected like any other biohazard.

How long is human feces dangerous?

There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.
