What vehicle biohazard cleanup covers:
The team confirms the vehicle is released, then suits up and secures the area around it.
Crews check how far fluid travelled into foam, carpet, door cavities and the floor pan, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Contaminated parts that cannot be saved come out. Surfaces that stay are cleaned layer by layer.
Lingering smells are treated, the waste is hauled away, and a last inspection confirms the vehicle is ready.

People use both phrases. Most of the time they mean decontaminating a vehicle that holds blood or other body fluids. Chemical spills are a separate hazard, and a cleanup team can say whether it can handle a specific one.
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
