Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.

In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. In most other cases the owner of the home or the person arranging the cleanup pays.

Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and disinfect it with an EPA-registered product by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed.

It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
