Biohazard cleaning for vehicles also includes odor removal. Smells from body fluids or decomposition cling to foam, headliners and ventilation, so treatment targets the source and the air system.

Biohazard Vehicle Questions Answered for Saratoga, 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.
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.
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.
Can I clean a small spill in my car myself?
A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut, and do not use the car until fluids that soaked into fabric are removed. For larger spills, call a cleanup team.
Can urine or feces in a car be cleaned?
Yes. Waste is lifted with protection, soaked materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected. Urine travels deep into foam, so seats may need to be taken out or replaced if the smell remains.
What rules do vehicle biohazard cleaners follow?
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
