Yes. Human feces can carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, hepatitis A and norovirus. In large amounts, or when it soaks into building materials, it is cleaned with protective gear and disinfected like any other biohazard.
Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and disinfect it with an EPA-registered product by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed.
Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
