What Meth Lab Cleaning Means for a Property in Glassell Park, Los Angeles, CA
Meth contamination is residue that settles on surfaces and soaks into porous materials such as drywall, carpet and furniture. Cleaning it takes specialized methods, not household products.

Renters make up about 64% of households in Los Angeles, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves. About 70% of homes in Los Angeles were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.
