Tear gas and pepper spray are not ordinary germs or stains. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize them, and mixing products can create dangerous fumes. Use fresh air and let a crew handle it.
Tear gas is a group of irritant agents, usually fine solids, such as CS, CN and CR. Pepper spray, or OC, is made from chili pepper extract in an oil base. They behave differently, so cleanup methods differ.
Small incidents with little residue may clear with fresh air. For anything larger, it is risky because residue is hard to see and wiping can spread it. A professional crew uses protective gear and checks the result.
Sometimes. Some homeowners and business policies may cover cleanup after vandalism, a break-in or a covered event, and others exclude certain causes. Call your insurer before work starts and ask plainly what applies.
