Common Questions About Urine and Feces Cleanup in Oskaloosa

Is there a chemical that dissolves human feces?

Not one that is safe to pour on a floor or carpet. Dissolving waste spreads it deeper into materials. The right method is to lift the waste, remove soaked porous items and disinfect the surface.

What happens if human feces gets in an open wound?

Wash the wound with soap and clean water right away and contact a doctor. Bacteria in feces can cause infection. This is general information, not medical advice, so do not wait if the area looks red, swollen or painful.

What rules do human waste cleaners follow?

Crews follow rules designed to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when blood or other body fluids are present. Rental housing and sanitation rules vary by city and county.

Is poop a biohazard?

Yes. Human waste can spread germs through touch, dust and contaminated surfaces. A small accident on a hard floor can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant, but large amounts call for a human feces cleanup team.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.

How long is human feces dangerous?

There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.
