Tear gas and pepper spray are not ordinary germs or stains. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize them, and mixing products can create dangerous fumes. Use fresh air and let a crew handle it.
Do not hose it down or wipe it around. Particles and oil spread when disturbed. A professional crew uses protective gear, lifts residue from the surface and disposes of it as hazardous waste.
Tell the landlord or property manager right away. The lease and local law decide who pays. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain.
A small space can be finished quickly, while a whole building, or one where the air system ran, takes longer. The team gives a timeline after seeing the site. Keep the space closed until the work is done.
Only after it is cleaned and checked. Pets and young children are closer to floors, so they can be affected more. Keep them out until the crew says the work is complete.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
Careful removal of residue that fresh air alone cannot clear.
