Vacant homes, about 13% of those in Baltimore, are often decontaminated before a sale or a new tenant moves in. Older housing is common in Baltimore, around 82% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
A typical biohazard decontamination job includes:
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste

What Forest Park Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
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.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
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.
