What fentanyl decontamination covers:
Tell the team where the residue is, what the space is used for and whether children or pets live there.
Doors are sealed, floors are covered where needed, and the route for hauling waste is planned so nothing is dragged through clean areas.
Wipes, cloths and protective layers are swapped out so residue is not carried from room to room.
Contaminated items are packed and removed, and the owner can ask for a summary of what was done.

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Businesses and fleet owners should check their commercial policies.
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
