Yes. Odor usually fades once all of the source material is gone. When fluids soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. A strong smell can mean contamination remains below the surface.
There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
It is the removal and disinfection of blood, vomit, urine, feces and other body fluids from surfaces and materials. Cleaners wear protective gear, remove soaked items and dispose of waste safely. The aim is to stop germs from spreading.
Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
It depends on the cause and the policy. Sudden events are more often covered than long-term neglect. Ask the cleanup team whether it can supply the paperwork an insurer asks for and whether it bills the insurer directly.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
