Common Questions About Cleaning Up After Drug Use in Pierce
Is this the same as meth lab cleanup?
No. Drug paraphernalia cleanup removes used items and cleans surfaces. A site where drugs were made is a different job with its own testing and clearance steps. If you think drugs were made in the home, say so when you call.
Is the home safe to live in afterward?
A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
What should I do if I find an unknown powder?
Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.
Does residue remain after the items are removed?
It can. Powders and stains may stay on floors, furniture, bedding and in vents after the items are gone. That is why a team cleans and disinfects the surfaces and removes soft materials that cannot be cleaned. Ask what the plan covers.
Do cleanup teams test for drugs?
Standard paraphernalia cleanup is about removal, cleaning and disinfection. Testing is a separate step, usually tied to a site where drugs were made. Ask the team and the local health department what testing, if any, applies to your property.
Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?
It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.
