Use a good soap or detergent and lots of hot water when cleaning walls, solid floors and ceilings but not household bleach which can be ineffective because of what's contained in the flood water.
Solid wood or metal furniture may be cleaned with a household detergent solution.
Water-soaked walls and insulation should be removed.
Wastes from the flood should be buried at least 15 metres or 50 feet away from the source of your water. Lime may be used before the wastes are covered with soil.
