Human Feces and Urine Cleanup for Tacoma, WA Homes and Businesses

Urine cleanup is the removal of urine and the treatment of the odor it leaves. Old urine stains can hide in padding, subfloor and mattress layers, which is why surface cleaning alone often fails.

Treat every waste contamination in Tacoma as a possible exposure risk. You can get crews that contain the area, protect nearby rooms and check the affected areas before handing the space back. For help in Pierce County, call Tacoma Biohazard Cleanup Help.

About 64% of homes in Tacoma were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb urine deeply. Around 44% of households in Tacoma rent, so landlords and property managers often set up waste cleanup between tenants.

The work often covers:

Waste left behind after neglect, illness, incontinence or a long absence
Related contamination, including vomit and blood, found alongside waste
Disinfection of every surface the waste touched, using EPA-registered products
Odor removal from the affected area once the source is gone
Vacant homes, rentals and properties where waste was left behind

Questions About Cleaning Up Human Waste in Tacoma

What rules do human waste cleaners follow?

Crews follow rules designed to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when blood or other body fluids are present. Rental housing and sanitation rules vary by city and county.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.

Can a mattress or couch be saved after urine or feces?

Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.

Is commercial feces cleanup different from home cleanup?

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 and keep documentation for managers and insurers.

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.

What happens if human feces gets in an open wound?

Wash the wound with soap and clean water right away and contact a doctor. Bacteria in feces can cause infection. This is general information, not medical advice, so do not wait if the area looks red, swollen or painful.
