The work often covers:
Nobody sits inside. The crew sets up protection and puts on gloves, eye protection and protective clothing.
Crews check how far fluid travelled into foam, carpet, door cavities and the floor pan, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Fluids are lifted from every surface they reached. Soaked items are removed and the remaining surfaces are sanitized.
Odor is treated in the cabin and vents, waste leaves as regulated waste, and the interior is checked before the keys are returned.

It may, or it may not. It depends on whether an insurer, a salvage record or a title brand noted the contamination. Ask the seller, the insurer or the title office, and keep cleaning records.
Yes. Waste is lifted with protection, soaked materials are removed and surfaces are disinfected. Urine travels deep into foam, so seats may need to be taken out or replaced if the smell remains.
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.
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
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.
Remove the source first, since the smell comes from fluid trapped in seats, carpet and seams. Surface sprays only cover it. A biohazard car cleaning team removes soaked materials, disinfects and treats odor in the cabin and vents.
One call starts the cleanup, disinfection and disposal.
