I purposely did NOT put this in BS, it can be moved if necessary.

This is the School of Hard Knocks speaking, so listen up.

IF you have a sewage back up and raw sewage on the floor here is what to do:
Get ALL the mammals OUT ASAP until it is cleaned up. Remove any carpet, rugs, etc that can be tossed, carpet can never be truly sterilized.

Clean anything that can be cleaned with chlorine bleach with a 5 water to 1 bleach solution...if you really want to be safe and can stand the fumes, use full strength bleach.

Any surfaces that can't be bleached (such as carpets) should be cleaned with Lysol, or some other antibacterial as per instructions on the bottle. Spray anything you think even 'might' have been contaminated with an aerosol   Lysol/antibacterial spray.

Wash all throw rugs with either bleach (for whites) or a Lysol thing.

If you can't do all this in one day, then do it as you can, and then spray all the floors (and as high up as the animals could reach) with the antibac. spray.

Don't forget the walls, outside of tub, top of washer and dryer...anywhere your animal could walk.

DO not let them walk in the mess....and YOU wear rubber gloves, and sterilize you shoes and clothes.

Shoe soles can be wiped or sprayed. Please, don't be as sorry as we were.

The above reccomendations come from a pro carpet cleaning service. If you have no Home carpet shampooer, call a pro. Home Owners Insurance.

More as I remember it....
