Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and use an EPA-registered disinfectant by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed, so call a cleanup team when waste has spread.
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 amount of fluid, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small spill on tile is a short job. Fluids that reached carpet, padding or subfloor take longer because materials must be removed.
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
Breathing the odor of feces is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can also release particles when it is disturbed. Ventilate if you can, avoid sweeping or scrubbing, and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the area, open a window if you can, and do not wipe or spray the spill. Take photos for insurance and note what the fluid touched.
