Safe cleaning means PPE, containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning, EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time, and sealed disposal of the waste. A small household spill is a different matter than a death or crime scene, and anything larger than a few drops should be left to a crew.

A few drops from a small cut can sometimes be cleaned up by a careful person wearing gloves, with disinfectant on hard surfaces. Larger amounts, anything on porous materials, or fluids from another person are best left to a cleanup crew.
