Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Portsmouth, Portland, OR

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.

Should I hose it down?

No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.

What if police used the tear gas?

Ask the agency what records it can give you. A police report number is often useful for insurance. Cleanup can start once the agency says the property can be entered.

How much does tear gas cleanup cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area, the type of agent, how much soft furniture and carpet was reached and whether the air system ran. The cleanup team sets its price after seeing the space.

What should I do first after tear gas is released?

Get to fresh air, take others and pets with you, and keep everyone out of the space. Do not hose it down or mix cleaning products. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911 or Poison Control.

Is the space safe for pets and children afterward?

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.
