It depends on the vehicle, the amount of contamination and how much has to be removed. A single stained seat is a shorter job than a cabin with fluids on many surfaces. Odor treatment can add time.
A vehicle where a death occurred is cleaned only after law enforcement or the medical examiner releases it. The team removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor, which can settle into seats, headliner and vents.
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
Ask who can release it before cleanup starts. Cleaners can usually begin once the vehicle is released to the owner or an authorized person. Ask the cleanup company about timing once the vehicle is released.
