A typical tear gas & pepper spray cleanup job includes:
Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic are cleaned with products matched to the agent.

Residue is lifted from surfaces rather than wiped around. Fabrics are treated or removed, and vents are cleaned.
Filtered air machines and deodorizing remove lingering particles and smell so the room feels normal.

No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.
No. Baking soda is not a reliable fix, and it may only move residue around. A cleanup crew uses products matched to the agent and removes contamination instead of masking it.
Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic often clean well. Washable fabrics may be saved depending on the agent. Carpet, padding, foam and mattresses are harder, and some must be removed. The crew sorts items with you.
The cost depends on the size of the area, the type of agent, how much soft furniture and carpet was reached and whether the air system ran. The cleanup team sets its price after seeing the space.
