Meth (methamphetamine) labs, used to make the illegal drug methamphetamine, turn up in houses, apartments, motel rooms, sheds, trailers and even motor vehicles. Any house that has been used to cook meth can still have the harmful chemicals present in the vicinity even though the cooking has stopped. Thorough cleaning is required before you can start to live in the house or an apartment which has been previously used as meth labs.
Cleaning of
meth labs is essential as the fumes contain harmful chemicals that give rise to
a number of health problems like headaches, nausea, dizziness, breathing
problems or respiratory irritation and, skin and eye irritation
Here are some
tips for meth property cleaning:
- First and foremost, determine if
the property was used for meth lab cooking. And if so, to what extent?
- After being seized, the property
is aired out, decontaminated and closed for security reasons by the
professionals. This short term airing-out is not enough for the area.
Therefore it is necessary to air out the area before and during the
cleaning process. Air out the property for at least 3 to 5 days.
- Before starting any cleaning
process, wear certified protective gear like gloves, goggles, and
protective clothing. Respirators that offer protection against fumes are
recommended.
- Get rid of all the unnecessary
items and dispose them properly.
- Get rid of all the visibly
contaminated objects or items that have odour. Most of the area in the
vicinity of the cooking kit will be full of stains. Its best to get rid of
it.
- All the surfaces need to be
properly cleaned with adequate cleaning methods, keeping personal
healthcare in mind.
- The ventilation system carries
the air around in the house and particularly has most of the fumes sediment.
Cleaning the ventilation is very important before starting to reside in
the premises again.
- Leave the plumbing and any
additional odour removal to the professionals.
Meth lab
cleaning is a complicated process involving the use of many counter chemicals
in order to neutralize the effect of the existing chemicals used to cook
