What Owners and Managers Ask About Pepper Spray Cleanup in Downtown

What if my eyes or skin burn?

Follow first aid guidance and get medical help if symptoms continue. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911. This page covers property cleanup, not treatment.

What can be saved after tear gas?

Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic often clean well. Washable fabrics may be saved depending on the agent. Carpet, padding, foam and mattresses are harder, and some must be removed. The crew sorts items with you.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.

What should I do first after tear gas is released?

Get to fresh air, take others and pets with you, and keep everyone out of the space. Do not hose it down or mix cleaning products. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911 or Poison Control.

How much does tear gas cleanup cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area, the type of agent, how much soft furniture and carpet was reached and whether the air system ran. The cleanup team sets its price after seeing the space.

Will insurance pay for tear gas cleanup?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and business policies may cover cleanup after vandalism, a break-in or a covered event, and others exclude certain causes. Call your insurer before work starts and ask plainly what applies.
