Maple Leaf Tear Gas Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

What is the difference between tear gas and pepper spray?

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.

What if my eyes or skin burn?

Follow first aid guidance and get medical help if symptoms continue. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911. This page covers property cleanup, not treatment.

Who pays for tear gas cleanup in a rental?

Tell the landlord or property manager right away. The lease and local law decide who pays. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain.

What should I do first after tear gas is released?

Get to fresh air, take others and pets with you, and keep everyone out of the space. Do not hose it down or mix cleaning products. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911 or Poison Control.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.

What can be saved after tear gas?

Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic often clean well. Washable fabrics may be saved depending on the agent. Carpet, padding, foam and mattresses are harder, and some must be removed. The crew sorts items with you.
