What tear gas & pepper spray cleanup covers:
The crew confirms that people and pets are out and sets up barriers. Outside doors may be opened only where it is safe.
Particles travel with air and settle on horizontal surfaces and fabrics. Crews check these spots first.
Hard surfaces are cleaned with matched products. Soft goods are treated or removed, and waste is bagged and hauled.
A final inspection and a set of records finish the job, so tenants or staff can return.

Only after it is cleaned and checked. Pets and young children are closer to floors, so they can be affected more. Keep them out until the crew says the work is complete.
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.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
It depends on the agent, the room and the surfaces. Some residue fades in a few days, while some types cling to fabrics and carpet much longer. If burning returns when you go back in, the residue is still there.
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether a business must stay open around the work.
If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
Cleaners remove the irritant so people and pets can return safely.
