What Is Vehicle Decontamination?
Vehicle decontamination is the safe removal of blood, body fluids, and germs from inside a car, truck, or emergency vehicle. It is not a car wash or a regular detail. Fluids sink into seat foam, carpet padding, and small gaps in the dash and doors. If they are not fully removed, they can spread disease and leave lasting odors.
We clean every surface, remove what can't be saved, and disinfect the rest. Agencies across the Pacific Northwest, including Bellevue Police, Tacoma Police, and Washington State Patrol, have trusted Bio Management Northwest since 2007.

Emergency Vehicle Decontamination for Agencies
Emergency vehicles see blood and fluids more than almost any other vehicle. A CDC NIOSH study of paramedics found that 22% had at least one blood exposure in a single year. Every exposure in a vehicle is a risk to the next officer, medic, or passenger who gets in.
Employers are required to keep work areas clean and protect workers from bloodborne diseases under the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard and Washington's L&I bloodborne pathogens rules. Our emergency vehicle decontamination service helps your agency meet those rules without pulling your own staff off duty.
- Police cruisers and patrol SUVs
- Ambulances and medical transport vans
- Fire apparatus and rescue vehicles
- Prisoner and inmate transport vehicles

Our Vehicle Decontamination Process
Inspect the vehicle
We find every contaminated area, including under seats, in seat tracks, and inside vents.
Protect our crew and your site
Our team wears full protective gear and keeps waste contained.
Remove contaminated materials
We remove items that can't be saved, like seat covers or carpet sections. Everything is disposed of as biohazard waste.
Clean and disinfect every surface
We use hospital-grade disinfectants on seats, belts, panels, floors, and equipment areas.
Remove odors and document the job
We deodorize the cabin and give you a written report for your records, your fleet manager, or your insurer.
How Much Does Vehicle Decontamination Cost?
The price depends on the vehicle size, the type of contamination, and what needs to be removed. Most cars and patrol vehicles are done the same day.
For personal vehicles, auto insurance may cover the cleaning, and we can work directly with your insurer. For agencies and fleets, we offer ongoing service agreements so you have one number to call every time. Learn more on our pricing and insurance page.
Common Questions About Vehicle Decontamination
Can our own staff clean a patrol car or ambulance?
They can, but only with bloodborne pathogen training, the right protective gear, and a plan for biohazard waste. Many agencies hire us so officers and medics can stay on duty.
How fast can you get the vehicle back in service?
Most vehicles are returned the same day. We work around your shifts and can come to your station, yard, or tow lot.
Do you give documentation?
Yes. Every job comes with a written record of what was cleaned and how waste was disposed of.
Do you clean personal cars too?
Yes. If a loved one was hurt in your car, we can clean blood out of your vehicle quickly and privately.
Do you serve outside Seattle?
Yes. We cover all of Washington and Oregon. See our statewide police and medical transport vehicle cleanup page. We also clean jail and holding cells and provide crime scene cleanup for agencies.
