Biohazard Car Cleaning

When there is a biohazard spill in the car such as blood, body fluids, vomit, drugs, urine, or feces, the vehicle needs to be properly cleaned and sterilized. Cleaning out biohazards from a car is not something a regular detailing shop can or should handle. They don’t have the training to remove biohazards nor do they have the skills to remove all the affected pieces of the car. At Bio SoCal, our team quickly handles the removal of all biohazards and eliminates any lingering odors.

Situations we regularly handle include:

• suicide
• death
• Ride Share Car Cleanup (ie Uber an Lyft)
• theft recovery
• paraphernalia
• Accidents
• blood
• biohazards
• drugs
• needles

Check with your auto insurance company

If you need biohazards cleaned in a car or truck, you should check with your auto insurance company first. Depending on the extent of the damage, the auto insurance company may decide the car is not worth cleaning but will total the vehicle instead. This decision depends on comparing two factors:

• Extent of the damage and cost of repair: The cost of biohazard car cleanup goes up or down depending on the extent of the damage. To remove all biohazards from a car and make sure it is safe to occupy, seat covers, carpet, and even the console may need to be replaced as well as the biohazards removed from all surfaces.
• Year and make of the car: The more valuable a vehicle is, the more an insurance company will pay to have it cleaned. If the cost of repair is greater than the value of the vehicle, then they will generally total the vehicle out.

The cost of biohazard car cleanup involves not only removing the porous items such as foam, leather, carpet, and fabric, but also replacing them. This is especially true when a strong odor is involved. To remove an odor, the source of the smell must be taken out first. Since the molecules soak into all porous surfaces including places such as the seats, carpet, leather, and HVAC system, all affected items in a vehicle must be removed and replaced. Thus, it is best to go through the insurance company when you can so they can cover the cost of biohazard cleanup, odor removal, and replacement of any materials or parts.

Our biohazard car cleanup process

After assessing the extent of the damage and getting your approval to clean the vehicle, we will first cut out all the damaged porous materials that cannot be cleaned such as seat covers, foam, carpet, seat belts, and leather. We then clean every nonporous surface, making sure to reach all nooks and crannies, to remove any remaining biohazards. If there is a lingering odor in the air, we use the latest technology in odor removal to help ensure the smell does not return.
