Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.
