A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut, and do not use the car until fluids that soaked into fabric are removed. For larger spills, call a cleanup team.
A vehicle where a death occurred is cleaned only after law enforcement or the medical examiner releases it. The team removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor, which can settle into seats, headliner and vents.
