Because vacancy is lower in Tampa, at about 9% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house. About 44% of homes in Tampa were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes.
The work often covers:
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated

2. Protect people and property
Gear goes on, pets and residents stay out and the work zone is marked. Valuables and keepsakes are set aside for the family.
3. Clean, then disinfect
Contaminated material is sealed and removed. Each surface is cleaned first, and the disinfectant is applied and left wet for its full contact time.
4. Treat, deodorize and hand off
Disinfectant goes on every cleaned surface, and odor is treated at its source. The team walks the owner through the finished space and the records.

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Westshore Palms, Tampa, FL
How do I know the decontamination worked?
A good team inspects every treated surface, treats leftover odors and explains what it did. Some teams add swab tests. Ask what the final check includes and ask for a record of the work. Testing rules vary by place.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
