Biohazard Car Cleaning in Abilene, TX
A biohazard vehicle is one that has been contaminated with blood, vomit, urine, feces or decomposition. Such a car cannot be cleaned with soap and a vacuum, because the fluids soak into foam and carpet.
Owners, adjusters, tow yards and fleet managers in Abilene and Taylor County who need your vehicle made safe can call Abilene Biohazard Cleanup Help for local vehicle biohazard cleanup.
With July highs near 96 degrees in Abilene, a closed vehicle heats up fast and fluids and odors settle deeper into seats and carpet. After a crash or crime that the Taylor County Sheriff's Office investigated, the vehicle may be held at a tow yard. Cleanup follows once it is released to the owner.

- Sealed packaging and disposal of contaminated parts as regulated medical waste

- Personal items and belongings sorted, cleaned or bagged as appropriate
- A final inspection of the cabin, with notes for insurers on request
- Vomit, urine and feces cleaned from front and back seats and floor mats

Biohazard Vehicle Questions Answered for Abilene, TX
How do you clean a biohazard car?
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.
What is a biohazard vehicle?
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.
Can I clean a small spill in my car myself?
A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut, and do not use the car until fluids that soaked into fabric are removed. For larger spills, call a cleanup team.
Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pay for vehicle cleanup?
It does not cover regular car accidents. If a crime happened in the vehicle, ask the Attorney General's office whether your case qualifies, at (800) 983-9933. Businesses and organizations cannot apply.
Does car insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Many auto insurance policies cover some losses that are not collisions, and some policies exclude cleanup. Only your policy and your insurer can say. Call before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
