Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in East Falls, Philadelphia, PA

Should I hose it down?

No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.

What should I do first after tear gas is released?

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.

Why do vinegar and bleach not work?

Tear gas and pepper spray are not ordinary germs or stains. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize them, and mixing products can create dangerous fumes. Use fresh air and let a crew handle it.

How do I get rid of tear gas in a house?

Leave the area, keep people and pets out and open outside doors or windows only where it is safe. Do not run fans or the air system. Then call a cleanup team, which matches the method to the agent.

Why does the air system matter?

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.

What if police used the tear gas?

Ask the agency what records it can give you. A police report number is often useful for insurance. Cleanup can start once the agency says the property can be entered.
