Renters make up about 60% of households in Orlando, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves. Homes in Orlando were built in different eras, and about 33% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
The work often covers:
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lake Cherokee, Orlando, FL
What is meth lab cleanup?
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
