Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Memphis, TN

Is the home safe to live in afterward?

A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.

What should I do if I find an unknown powder?

Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.

Can I clean up after a family member myself?

It is safer not to. You often cannot tell what an item or residue is, and hidden sharps are a risk. Do not mix cleaning products. A cleanup team has the protective gear and containers to do it safely, without judgment.

Do I need to be there during the work?

In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.

What should I do if someone is unresponsive?

Call 911 right away. Cleanup can wait. After the emergency is over and the space is released, a cleanup team can handle the items and residue left behind.

What if children or pets live in the home?

Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.
