Content Restoration

---

Prior to storing items, they must be cleaned.  Cleaning items after a fire or flood requires a thorough and methodical approach to ensure they are restored to a safe and usable condition.

The process begins with assessing the extent of damage and sorting items based on their material and level of contamination. For fire-damaged items, soot and smoke residue must be carefully cleaned using appropriate detergents and tools. Water-damaged items require immediate drying to prevent mold growth, followed by a detailed cleaning with disinfectants to eliminate contaminants.

Both scenarios often necessitate specialized techniques for different materials, such as upholstery, electronics, or documents, and may involve professional restoration services. Throughout, it’s crucial to handle all items with care and follow safety guidelines to protect both the items and those performing the cleaning.
