What vehicle biohazard cleanup covers:
Nobody sits inside. The crew sets up protection and puts on gloves, eye protection and protective clothing.
Crews check how far fluid travelled into foam, carpet, door cavities and the floor pan, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Contaminated parts that cannot be saved come out. Surfaces that stay are cleaned layer by layer.
Lingering smells are treated, the waste is hauled away, and a last inspection confirms the vehicle is ready.
