Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Detroit Lakes, MN

How to remove tear gas from surfaces?

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.

What if police used the tear gas?

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.

What is the difference between tear gas and pepper spray?

Tear gas is a group of irritant agents, usually fine solids, such as CS, CN and CR. Pepper spray, or OC, is made from chili pepper extract in an oil base. They behave differently, so cleanup methods differ.

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.

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.

Why does the air system matter?

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.
