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.
Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
