Cleaners put on PPE, close the doors and windows as needed and protect nearby surfaces and people.
Contaminated parts that cannot be saved come out. Surfaces that stay are cleaned layer by layer.
Bagged waste leaves with the crew. The interior is checked and the vehicle is returned for normal use.

It may, or it may not. It depends on whether an insurer, a salvage record or a title brand noted the contamination. Ask the seller, the insurer or the title office, and keep cleaning records.
It depends on the vehicle, the amount of contamination and how much has to be removed. A single stained seat is a shorter job than a cabin with fluids on many surfaces. Odor treatment can add time.
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
