At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
Soaked materials and used supplies are sealed in leak-proof bags and handled as regulated medical waste, not ordinary trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and use an EPA-registered disinfectant by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed, so call a cleanup team when waste has spread.
Workers who may touch blood or other body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Crews wear PPE, use EPA-registered disinfectants and handle waste under medical waste rules.
Breathing the odor of feces is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can also release particles when it is disturbed. Ventilate if you can, avoid sweeping or scrubbing, and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
