Fine powder can rise into the air when it is swept, wiped dry or vacuumed with an ordinary vacuum. Cleanup teams use wet methods and controlled equipment so particles stay down. Agencies such as the CDC advise against disturbing powder.
No. Keep them out until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are close to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If one touches or swallows something unknown, call Poison Control or 911.
A small room or vehicle can take a day or less, while a house or a space with a lot of soft material takes longer. Containment, cleaning and disposal each take time. A team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
Risk depends on the amount and the form. Breathing powder or getting it in the mouth or eyes is the main concern, and brief skin contact is generally less risky. Still, avoid touching it. If it happens, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The crew asks only what it needs to plan the work, and you decide what else to share.
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
