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.
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.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
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.
Usually not when the fluid 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.
