Questions About Biohazard Car Cleaning in Charleston

Is biohazard car detailing different from a regular detail?

Yes. A regular detail cleans dirt and stains with household products. Biohazard car detailing starts with decontamination, then moves to restoring the finish. Skipping the first step leaves germs and odor behind.

Can urine or feces in a car be cleaned?

Yes. Waste is lifted with protection, soaked materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected. Urine travels deep into foam, so seats may need to be taken out or replaced if the smell remains.

Is blood in a car a health risk?

Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B and HIV. Dried blood can still be hazardous, and enclosed cabins hold odor. That is why the area is cleaned with protection and disinfected.

Can the vehicle be cleaned where it is parked?

Often, yes. Crews can work in a driveway, garage or lot, depending on space, weather and the extent of the contamination. Some vehicles are moved to an enclosed space to keep the work private and contained.

How do I get vomit smell out of a car?

Remove the source first, since the smell comes from fluid trapped in seats, carpet and seams. Surface sprays only cover it. A biohazard car cleaning team removes soaked materials, disinfects and treats odor in the cabin and vents.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
