The crew looks at how far the spill spread and what it touched. It notes drains, soil, porous materials and anything that needs to be kept away from the area.
Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.
Different products are kept apart so that they cannot react. Waste is labeled and moved by the rules that apply to its type.

Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.

Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.
Describe what you see by phone and the team explains the next safe step.
