The crew leader asks about the people, the property and any concerns about privacy. Equipment is packed to match the type of contamination.
Items that fluids have soaked into are removed, because germs can hide deep inside porous materials. Everything is bagged and labeled as it leaves the room.
Detergent lifts residue from every surface first. Disinfectant does not work well on dirt, so this step comes before the chemical treatment.
The team inspects each treated spot, deals with leftover smell and removes regulated waste from the property. The owner gets a clear summary of the work.
