How Feces and Urine Cleanup Works in East Palo Alto, CA
2. Soak-through check
Crews test how far urine and waste travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
3. Cleaning and disinfecting
Waste is removed layer by layer. Surfaces get a detailed clean followed by an EPA-registered disinfectant.
4. Sanitize and clear
Disinfectant stays wet on each surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste out.

Common Questions About Urine and Feces Cleanup in East Palo Alto
Will the cleaners judge the condition of the home?
No. Cleaners work privately and without judgment. Waste buildup often follows illness, age, grief or a health crisis, and the goal is a safe room, not blame.
Is there help paying for cleanup for a family member's home?
Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.
Can breathing in feces fumes be harmful?
Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.
Is urine a biohazard?
Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.
Can I remove feces manually?
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.
What rules do human waste cleaners follow?
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.
