Blood and biohazard cleanup in a car or truck
Seats, carpet and headliners soak up fluids quickly, and a closed vehicle in a Tri-Cities summer makes odor worse by the day. A biohazard company can clean a vehicle where it sits, or after it is released by police.

Before you touch the vehicle
If police or the coroner are involved, the vehicle may be held until they release it. Ask the officer, or call non-emergency dispatch at (509) 628-0333.
If it is in a tow yard, ask the yard whether a cleanup company can work on site, and what paperwork it needs from you.
What cleaning a vehicle involves
Fluids run into seat foam, under carpet and into the seams of the floor. A company usually removes seat covers or carpet where needed, cleans and disinfects hard surfaces, and treats the cabin for odor.
- Seats and seat foam
- Carpet, padding and floor mats
- Seat belts, which often have to be replaced rather than cleaned
- The truck bed or trunk, if anything was carried there
Insurance and the vehicle
Some auto policies with comprehensive coverage respond to damage inside the vehicle. Others do not. Call the insurer before work starts and ask what it needs to see.

One call, then the decision is yours
You can call now to ask questions, even if the home has not been released yet. An independent company will tell you what happens next.
When you are ready to talk
Say what happened, where, and whether police or the coroner are still involved. The company explains what it would do and how it prices the work. Nothing is agreed until you say yes.
