A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
Vehicle biohazard cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the owner, not to draw attention.
It usually means the interior was contaminated by blood, body fluids or similar material, and cleaning or repair is needed. Insurers and sellers may use the phrase when a vehicle was exposed to hazardous contamination.
Many auto insurance policies cover some losses that are not collisions, and some policies exclude cleanup. Only your policy and your insurer can say. Call before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
Calls are answered 24/7, and the job is planned on the call.
