Feces and Urine Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Washington Heights (North), New York, NY
Is human feces toxic to breathe?
The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
Is there a chemical that dissolves human feces?
Not one that is safe to pour on a floor or carpet. Dissolving waste spreads it deeper into materials. The right method is to lift the waste, remove soaked porous items and disinfect the surface.
Is feces and urine cleanup different from sewage cleanup?
Yes. Sewage cleanup deals with contaminated water from backed-up pipes. Feces and urine cleanup deals with waste left on surfaces and in materials, though some jobs involve both and need the same safety steps.
Can you get sick from cleaning up human feces?
Yes. Touching feces or contaminated surfaces and then your mouth, nose or eyes can spread germs. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands well afterward and keep children and pets away.
Does homeowners insurance cover feces and urine cleanup?
It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
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.
