What Lexington Residents Ask About Blood Cleanup
What is the difference between blood cleanup and crime scene cleanup?
Blood cleanup covers any spill, from an accident or a medical event. Crime scene cleanup is the larger job after a violent crime and often includes blood, bodily fluids and other residue. The safety rules are the same.
What do hospitals use to clean up blood?
Hospitals use hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants after the visible blood has been removed. Professional blood cleaners use the same kind of products, matched to the surface and the germ list on the label.
Should I use cloth towels or paper towels to clean up blood?
Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.
Is blood a biohazard?
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry germs, and some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last on surfaces for a long time. Scraping or scrubbing dried blood can also put particles into the air, so it should be handled with protection and disinfected.
What should you use when cleaning up blood?
Use disposable gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and a disinfectant that is EPA-registered for bloodborne pathogens. Follow the label for how long the surface must stay wet. Bag the used materials and keep them away from other people.
