Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
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.
It depends on the amount of waste, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small mess on tile is a short job. Waste that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed.
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
Urine soaks into padding, subfloor and mattress layers, and bacteria keep releasing odor from there. Surface cleaning does not reach it. Removing the soaked materials is usually what ends the smell.
