Usually not when the fluid has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
Urine is treated with caution when it is part of a contamination, especially if mixed with blood or other fluids. Large amounts that soak into flooring or mattresses are cleaned with protective gear and disinfected. Odor often stays behind unless the soaked materials are removed.
It depends on the cause and the policy. Sudden events are more often covered than long-term neglect. Ask the cleanup team whether it can supply the paperwork an insurer asks for and whether it bills the insurer directly.
Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
