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.
Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
Yes. Odor usually fades once all of the source material is gone. When fluids soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. A strong smell can mean contamination remains below the surface.
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.
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.
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.
