- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed

Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Green Acres and Wayne County
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
Does insurance cover decontamination?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
What is considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
