Bleach can disinfect some hard surfaces when it is used by the label, but it does not reach blood that has soaked into porous materials. It should never be mixed with other cleaners because the fumes can be dangerous. A cleanup team uses a full process.
It depends on the germ and the conditions, and nobody can judge it by looking at a stain. Hepatitis B, for example, can survive on surfaces for a considerable time. That is why dried blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
Employers have to protect workers who may be exposed, and the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies. A small spill may be cleaned up by staff who have the right training and supplies on site. Larger spills or blood that soaked in call for a commercial blood cleanup team.
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
Odor usually fades once all the source material is gone. If blood soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. Strong smells can mean contamination remains beneath the surface.
Blood cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
