It is crucial that you clean up any blood or OPIM to reduce the chance of exposure.

To clean an infected area, you must:

Use absorbent towels to wipe up blood or blood-containing materials
Remove any broken sharps with forceps/tongs/dust pan (do not use bare hands), and place in sharps waste container
Spray disinfectant on contaminated area and let it sit for a few minutes
Dry sprayed area with absorbent towels
Dispose cleaning materials and PPE in designated waste containers

OSHA defines appropriate disinfectants as:

EPA-registered disinfectants and disinfectants that are labeled to be effective against HIV and HBV;
Diluted bleach solutions (one fourth cup of household bleach to a gallon of water);
High-level disinfectants cleared by the FDA
