Wash the wound with soap and clean water right away and contact a doctor. Bacteria in feces can cause infection. This is general information, not medical advice, so do not wait if the area looks red, swollen or painful.
Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
