Human Feces & Urine Cleanup in Golden Glades, Jacksonville, FL

A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.

Wear gloves, lift the waste with a disposable tool and bag it. Hose down only hard surfaces away from drains, wells and play areas. For large amounts, near a home or on a worksite, a cleanup team can remove and disinfect.

It depends on the amount of waste, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small mess on tile is a short job. Waste that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed.
