Checklists & forms for tear gas and bear spray cleanup

These checklists and forms are meant to be used, not just read. Print a room-by-room residue check, log photos for an insurance claim, compare doing part of the work yourself with hiring it out, list the cost factors a quote should explain, and decide when people can safely come back inside.

Start here Irritant Residue Room Inventory Worksheet An irritant incident touches every room differently. A simple inventory, one row per room, keeps track of what each room needs and what has been done.
  • Exposure and Ventilation Timeline Worksheet

    After tear gas or a bear spray release, the order of events matters: whether the furnace ran, when windows were opened, when cleaning started. A simple timeline answers the questions providers and adjusters will ask.

  • Re-entry Questions After a Reported Irritant Event

    Going back in too soon, or with the wrong people, can mean another round of burning eyes and coughing. This checklist sets out what to confirm before each stage of re-entry.

  • Soft-Goods Observation and Sorting Worksheet

    Soft goods are where most of the cost and decisions land after an irritant incident. This worksheet helps you sort them quickly and record each choice for insurance.

  • HVAC Questions After a Tear-Gas or Spray Report

    The air system can keep spreading irritant residue long after rooms look clean. These questions help you understand what an HVAC assessment should cover and whether a proposed scope makes sense.

  • Residue Cleanup Scope Comparison Worksheet

    Two cleanup proposals for the same home can look very different. Comparing them line by line shows whether one leaves out important work or the other adds things you do not need.

  • Photo Log for an Irritant-Residue Concern

    Photos taken before anything is cleaned or thrown away are the strongest record of an irritant incident. A numbered log keeps them organized for insurers, landlords and providers.

  • Shared-Building Residue Coordination Tool

    When an irritant incident affects a building, the manager or board has to track many units, common areas and contractors at once. One shared sheet keeps everyone working from the same information.

  • Surface-Cleaning Scope Questions for Irritant Residue

    A cleanup scope should explain how walls, floors, counters and trim will be cleaned, not just that they will be. These questions help you understand the method and spot gaps.
