Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
