Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
Wear gloves, lift the waste with a disposable tool and bag it. Hose down only hard surfaces away from drains, wells and play areas. For large amounts, near a home or on a worksite, a cleanup team can remove and disinfect.
There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.
Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.
