Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in South Lamar, Austin, TX
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.
Can Texas victim compensation help with tear gas cleanup?
If a crime was involved, ask Texas Attorney General Crime Victim Services whether the case qualifies. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Call (800) 983-9933.
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.
Should I hose it down?
No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.
Who pays for tear gas cleanup in a rental?
Tell the landlord or property manager right away. The lease and local law decide who pays. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain.
