Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. EPA keeps lists of registered disinfectants for specific germs, and the label says which germs it covers and how long it must stay wet.
Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.
Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.
Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.
