What Lauderdale Lakes Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup
Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?
Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.
What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?
Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.
What should I do first after a chemical spill?
Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.
What if I found containers I cannot identify?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?
Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood, body fluids and germs, while chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific chemical before hiring it.
What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?
Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.
