What Owners and Managers Ask About Pepper Spray Cleanup in Zilker

Can Texas victim compensation help with tear gas cleanup?

If a crime was involved, ask Texas Attorney General Crime Victim Services whether the case qualifies. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Call (800) 983-9933.

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.

Can you neutralize tear gas in a house with household products?

Not reliably. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize these agents, and mixing products can release harmful fumes. Plain water can spread residue. Fresh air and professional removal work better.

How to remove tear gas from surfaces?

Do not hose it down or wipe it around. Particles and oil spread when disturbed. A professional crew uses protective gear, lifts residue from the surface and disposes of it as hazardous waste.

What rules apply to tear gas waste in Texas?

Rules for hazardous residue vary by state, county and city. Waste may need special handling and cannot always go in the regular trash. Ask the local health department or fire department what applies.

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.
