What tear gas & pepper spray cleanup covers:
Everyone leaves the space first. The crew then tests it to find where residue settled, including vents and soft goods.
Canisters, pellets, powder and contaminated debris are collected as hazardous waste and sealed.
Residue is lifted from surfaces rather than wiped around. Fabrics are treated or removed, and vents are cleaned.
A last inspection and air treatment confirm the space is ready, and the owner receives an explanation of the work.

If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
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.
Do not hose it down or wipe it around. Particles and oil spread when disturbed. A professional crew uses protective gear, lifts residue from the surface and disposes of it as hazardous waste.
No. Baking soda is not a reliable fix, and it may only move residue around. A cleanup crew uses products matched to the agent and removes contamination instead of masking it.
Tell the landlord or property manager right away. The lease and local law decide who pays. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain.
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.
