2. Take out what is contaminated
Items that fluids have soaked into are removed, because germs can hide deep inside porous materials. Everything is bagged and labeled as it leaves the room.
3. Clean before disinfecting

4. Treat the air and surfaces
Disinfection and odor control come last. The crew walks through the finished area with the owner and answers any questions about what was done.
