Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and use an EPA-registered disinfectant by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed, so call a cleanup team when waste has spread.
Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the area, open a window if you can, and do not wipe or spray the spill. Take photos for insurance and note what the fluid touched.
It depends on the amount of fluid, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small spill on tile is a short job. Fluids that reached carpet, padding or subfloor take longer because materials must be removed.
Wash the skin with soap and water right away, and rinse the eyes or mouth with clean water if fluid splashed there. Then talk with a doctor or the local health department about next steps. This is general information, not medical advice.
There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
One call starts the cleanup, disinfection and disposal.
