Cleaners put on PPE, keep people and pets out, and seal off the area so germs and odor do not travel.
Waste and visible fluid are lifted with disposable tools. Anything porous that has soaked through is removed and packed.
Waste is sealed and removed as regulated medical waste, odor is treated, and the room is checked before it is handed back.

Yes. Many scenes include more than one fluid, and crews treat them all as possible carriers of infectious germs. The same containment, removal and disinfection steps apply, with disposal as regulated medical waste.
Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
Usually not when the fluid has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
It depends on the cause and the policy. Sudden events are more often covered than long-term neglect. Ask the cleanup team whether it can supply the paperwork an insurer asks for and whether it bills the insurer directly.
One call starts the cleanup, disinfection and disposal.
