About 36% of residents in Portland are older adults who live alone, and waste cleanup is often needed after a fall or illness that no one noticed right away. Most homes in Portland are occupied, so waste cleanup is usually tied to illness, aging or a household in crisis, not an empty property.

Human Feces & Urine Cleanup in Maplewood usually includes:

  • Vacant homes, rentals and properties where waste was left behind
  • Urine cleanup from carpet, padding, mattresses, subfloor and upholstery
  • A final check of the room, with notes for insurers on request

  • Waste left behind after neglect, illness, incontinence or a long absence

Feces and Urine Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Maplewood, Portland, OR

Is human feces toxic to breathe?

The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.

Can a mattress or couch be saved after urine or feces?

Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.

Can breathing in feces fumes be harmful?

Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.

Is there help paying for cleanup for a family member's home?

Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.

Is poop a biohazard?

Yes. Human waste can spread germs through touch, dust and contaminated surfaces. A small accident on a hard floor can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant, but large amounts call for a human feces cleanup team.

What happens if human feces gets in an open wound?

Wash the wound with soap and clean water right away and contact a doctor. Bacteria in feces can cause infection. This is general information, not medical advice, so do not wait if the area looks red, swollen or painful.
