Yes, human feces can carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, hepatitis A and norovirus. In a home or business it should be cleaned with gloves, disposable tools and a disinfectant, or by a cleanup team when the amount is large.
Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
Urine is treated with caution when it is part of a contamination, especially if mixed with blood or other fluids. Large amounts that soak into flooring or mattresses are cleaned with protective gear and disinfected. Odor often stays behind unless the soaked materials are removed.
There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the area, open a window if you can, and do not wipe or spray the spill. Take photos for insurance and note what the fluid touched.
