Vehicle biohazard cleanup
Vehicle interiors are full of foam, fabric and hidden gaps that absorb fluids. Specialized cleanup can often save the vehicle.
When vehicle cleanup is needed
- After an accident, injury or assault involving blood
- After an unattended death in a vehicle
- Bodily fluid contamination from illness, or animal waste
- Before a vehicle is returned to a lease company, sold, or released by a tow yard or insurer
What's involved
Car seats, carpet and headliners contain foam and padding that absorb fluids well below the surface. Technicians may remove seats and carpet to treat the floor pan, clean and disinfect hard surfaces, and use odor-removal equipment. Seriously contaminated components may need replacement, which the provider should identify up front.
Insurance
Auto insurance comprehensive coverage sometimes covers biohazard cleanup or treats the damage as part of a claim. Contact your insurer before work begins, and ask the provider for photos and a written scope.
