Falls, illness, injuries
Blood and bodily fluid cleanup in Yakima
Not every call follows a crime. A bad fall, a long illness or an injury at work can leave more behind than a household cleaner can deal with safely.

When it is more than a spill
A few drops on tile or vinyl can be wiped up with disposable gloves and a household disinfectant. Follow the directions on the label.
Call a cleanup company when fluid has soaked into carpet, a mattress, upholstery, drywall or the gaps in a wood floor, when there is a lot of it, or when you don't know the health of the person it came from.
Blood can carry hepatitis B and HIV. That is why Washington's bloodborne pathogens rule (WAC 296-823) requires employers to train and protect anyone whose job exposes them to it.
Before the company arrives
- Keep people and pets away from the area.
- Don't use a vacuum, a carpet cleaner or a steam mop on it. They spread it.
- If you already wiped some up, tell the company where, and bag the cloths.
- If it came from a fall or an injury and police were called, have the case number to hand.
Yakima and the valley around it
Nobody in the family has to clean this
An independent cleanup company can take it from here once the police and the coroner are done. Asking questions on the phone commits you to nothing.
When you are ready to talk
Say what happened, where it is and who owns the property. The company explains what it would do. You decide whether to go ahead.
