Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Steelton, PA
Can I clean up after a family member myself?
It is safer not to. You often cannot tell what an item or residue is, and hidden sharps are a risk. Do not mix cleaning products. A cleanup team has the protective gear and containers to do it safely, without judgment.
What about drug use in a vehicle?
Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.
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.
What if children or pets live in the home?
Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.
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.
Do I need to be there during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.
