3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Clinton, MO
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
Who pays for meth lab cleanup at a rental?
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings rather than the building.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
