Making a Van Nuys, Los Angeles, CA Space Safe Again After Contamination
To decontaminate means to remove contamination from surfaces and the air until the space is safe for people to use. In a biohazard setting, that means cleaning first, then disinfecting, then treating odor.

About 70% of homes in Los Angeles were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes. Renters make up about 64% of households in Los Angeles, so landlords often order decontamination between tenants.

- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into

What Van Nuys Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
