A biohazard company descended Friday night on the Brooklyn bowling alley where ­Ebola-afflicted doctor Craig Spencer played a few frames — to rid the place of any trace of the deadly disease.
The hipster hot spot’s decontamination is being done by Bio-Recover Corp., which also handled the cleanup job at Spencer’s Harlem apartment.
The company promised a top-to-bottom cleanup, from the holes in the bowling balls to the light switches.
The first step is to use a fogging machine to circulate disinfectant throughout the facility.

Spencer had coffee at the Blue Bottle Coffee stand on the High Line park, and ate at the popular Meatball Shop’s branch on Greenwich Avenue. He also rode the L, A, and 1 trains.
New Yorkers were skittish about whether Spencer left traces of the disease behind in his wake.

“This really hits home. I believe it’s going to get worse,” he said. “I think this whole building should be quarantined now.”
In Harlem, Spencer’s neighbor Stan Malone, 45, said that four of his relatives had moved out of the doctor’s building to be on the safe side.
