What Meth Lab Cleaning Means for a Property in Grand Mound, WA
Meth lab cleanup differs from ordinary cleaning because the hazard is chemical, not just dirt. Residue can be absorbed through skin, breathed in or carried on hands to the mouth.

- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms

Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
