but can you give me any advice how to remove the poo and how to go about this job as im sure i could get ill if job not done correct with health and safety in mind??
its a weekly clean after the weekend in the city centre. ???

Srictly speaking this is a bio hazard clean and as such should be carried out by a trained person and charged accordingly.
You should be wearing the appropriate ppe and all the waste including the ppe should be incinerated.
You will also require a licence to carry the waste in your van.
When you consider the fact that certain viruses can live outside the body for up to three months and you could be dealing with hep b, hep c, hiv etc you are putting yourself and your family at great risk.

Hi
Faeces is a pathogen (carries disease) and you must be careful with splashes with a pressure washes, you can imagine it would be sprayed everywhere.
Spray the Faeces with a Biocide and leave for around 15 mins ( Microsan, Ornikil). Bag the faeces making sure you use gloves (rubber or latex) for faeces a light suit will do as if you have sprayed biocide all bacteria will have been killed anyway.
Urine is actually sterile (people actually drink it for their complexion :-X )
HIV doesn't live very long outside the host body. HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, girl thingyl fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears and reduces between 90-99% within a few hours.
Your PPE will only have to be incinerated if it become saturated or contaminated, a chemical suit (non porous) can been cleaned with the biocide, rubber gloves can be cleaned, latex thrown.
Just be careful and count the cash ;)

I jet drains and no you don't need all that PPE if you choose not to, I would get a shovel and put it down the drain via the nearest manhole followed by a bucket of water. You will need to wash your shovel off or your van will smell like mine
