What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
Until the cleanup is done, children, pets and visitors stay out of the affected areas.
Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.
Remaining surfaces and air systems are cleaned with specialized methods, not household products.
Follow-up samples show whether the cleaning worked. Areas that do not pass are cleaned and tested again.

Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
