There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Workers who may touch blood or other body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Crews wear PPE, use EPA-registered disinfectants and handle waste under medical waste rules.

Put on disposable gloves and eye protection, lift the waste with disposable towels and bag it. Then clean the area and use an EPA-registered disinfectant by the label. Soaked porous materials usually have to be removed, so call a cleanup team when waste has spread.
Wash the skin with soap and water right away, and rinse the eyes or mouth with clean water if fluid splashed there. Then talk with a doctor or the local health department about next steps. This is general information, not medical advice.
