No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.
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.
Small incidents with little residue may clear with fresh air. For anything larger, it is risky because residue is hard to see and wiping can spread it. A professional crew uses protective gear and checks the result.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
Ask the agency what records it can give you. A police report number is often useful for insurance. Cleanup can start once the agency says the property can be entered.
