Emergency Vehicle Decontamination & Cleaning in St. Louis, MO

Emergency vehicle decontamination and cleaning is a specialized service that removes biological and hazardous contaminants from law enforcement, EMS, fire, and other response vehicles after exposure to blood, vomit,  bodily fluids, chemical residue, tear gas, smoke, drug-related substances, or other health risks. Vehicles exposed to these hazards require more than routine detailing because pathogens and contaminants can persist deep in upholstery, padding, and ventilation systems, posing health risks to occupants and first responders. 

Professional cleanup by T.A.C.T. involves trained technicians using appropriate personal protection gear, containment methods, and approved disinfectants to restore safety and hygiene.

Because of our trauma-cleanup expertise and rigorous safety standards, T.A.C.T. St. Louis is a preferred choice for vehicle decontamination among municipal and emergency agencies.
