Vehicle Biohazard Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Burlingame, CA
What is a biohazard vehicle?
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
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.
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 a car with blood in it be cleaned?
Yes, in most cases. Hard surfaces and many seats can be cleaned and disinfected. Foam, carpet and padding that soaked through are usually removed, because blood and odor stay in them.
Who pays for cleaning a rental or fleet vehicle?
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
Will the neighbors know a cleanup is happening?
Vehicle biohazard cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the owner, not to draw attention.
