The work often covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew looks over the room for sharp objects, hidden pooling and fragile belongings.
Crews test how far liquid travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Fluids are removed layer by layer. Surfaces get a detailed clean followed by an EPA-registered disinfectant.
Disinfectant stays wet on each surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste out.

There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
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.
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.
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.
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.
