Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Lexington Park and St. Mary's County
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
What is considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
