Small incidents with little residue may clear with fresh air. For anything larger, it is risky because residue is hard to see and wiping can spread it. A professional crew uses protective gear and checks the result.
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.
Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic often clean well. Washable fabrics may be saved depending on the agent. Carpet, padding, foam and mattresses are harder, and some must be removed. The crew sorts items with you.
Tear gas is a group of irritant agents, usually fine solids, such as CS, CN and CR. Pepper spray, or OC, is made from chili pepper extract in an oil base. They behave differently, so cleanup methods differ.
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.
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.
Private help from the first call to the final inspection.
