What universal precautions means
In covered workplaces, human blood and certain body fluids are treated as though they may be infectious, regardless of whether anyone is known to have an infection.
Not every spill has the same scope
A tiny, known-source spill on an intact nonporous surface is different from a large spill, trauma scene, unknown-source contamination, sharps exposure, or blood that has entered carpet, padding, wood, drywall, or other porous materials.
When professional help makes sense
Consider professional cleanup when the amount is significant, the contamination is widespread or hidden, porous materials are involved, sharps are present, or you do not have the equipment and training to control exposure.
