The safety steps are the same, but commercial jobs may involve shared restrooms, customers and business hours. Crews work to close off the area, clean it quickly and keep documentation for managers and insurers.
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.
It depends on the amount of fluid, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small spill on tile is a short job. Fluids that reached carpet, padding or subfloor take longer because materials must be removed.
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.
