A biohazard vehicle is one that has been contaminated with blood, vomit, urine, feces or decomposition. Such a car cannot be cleaned with soap and a vacuum, because the fluids soak into foam and carpet.

Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
Remove the source first, since the smell comes from fluid trapped in seats, carpet and seams. Surface sprays only cover it. A biohazard car cleaning team removes soaked materials, disinfects and treats odor in the cabin and vents.
It refers to a vehicle damaged by a biohazard, such as blood or body fluids, or by a chemical spill. Both kinds of contamination call for protective gear and specialized cleaning. A cleanup team can tell which applies after seeing the vehicle.
