Surface stains may lift, but blood that soaked through carpet and padding can sit in the subfloor and keep carrying germs and odor. In that case the soaked carpet and padding are cut out and disposed of as waste.
Usually not. Small amounts of blood on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant. A cleanup service becomes useful when the spill is large, has soaked in, reached several rooms or involved another person's blood.
Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.
