Homes in Harrison County have a median build year of 1954, older than most homes across Iowa. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal. About 23% of homes in Harrison County are rented, so many cleanups involve owners working directly with their own homeowners insurance company.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
The finish matters as much as the cleanup. After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers run, odor equipment works on the room, and the crew checks every surface, with ATP testing available to confirm the result.

Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, odor and chemicals may be present, and the work is easier to do safely with people and pets elsewhere. The crew can say what is safe for your situation.
