I got called out to an emergency clean up this morning.
The customer's mother had burst a leg ulcer and was rushed to hospital, leaving blood stains on the bedroom, bathroom and hall carpets. My first instinct was to refuse but as the customer was distaught with the situation I decided to do what I could to help. On the way there it occurred to me that my CFR machine with the recycling of water would not do the job. In the event I used cold water, (changed twice) vented the machine outside, wore gloves and got rid of all the stains. At the NCCA course I recall that the cleaning of blood was a problem so my question is (a) Should I have done anything differently? and (b) Would you guys help a distraught lady or walk away?
