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.
If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
Leave the area, keep people and pets out and open outside doors or windows only where it is safe. Do not run fans or the air system. Then call a cleanup team, which matches the method to the agent.
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.
Rules for hazardous residue vary by state, county and city. Waste may need special handling and cannot always go in the regular trash. Ask the local health department or fire department what applies.
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.
