Various Approaches that Help Save Contents after Fire Damage Incidents in Glen Cove

Soiling through residue deposits, charring, and strong odor is common after fire damage affects properties in Glen Cove.  Deep soiling may force you to throw away some items left structurally intact by the fire.  However, using advanced cleaning approaches, it is possible to remove the residues left on the items, restoring them to the preloss condition.

Vacuuming

Vacuuming is an effective way to remove loose residues left on items after fire damage incidents in Glen Cove.  It has several benefits, including removing soot, and dirt that may be difficult to deal with once a material becomes wet. It also helps clean some materials such as sisal or silk area rugs, which are readily damaged by other cleaning methods.  Vacuuming can also serve a precursor cleaning method, removing loose soot from the surface of materials.

Bonnet Cleaning

If the fire incident leaves limited amounts of residues on fabric items such as carpets or upholstery, there is no need to waste resources doing deep cleaning, especially considering it might lead to other problems like dyes running or staining. Bonnet cleaning is the right answer in such a case because minimal moisture is applied. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate the soiled material first to determine whether to use this method, pre-testing. We use it on the low-cut pile and low-level loop carpets. Its effectiveness is minimal for deep-cut pile carpets, and it is not suitable for Berbers or shag carpets.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

It is common for soot and other some residues to stick stubbornly to glassware and fixtures such as chandeliers. Vigorously agitating such items can remove the residues, but is likely to cause other problems such as scratches, which would ruin their value. Our SERVPRO technicians avoid problems when cleaning such items by using specialized immersion cleaning procedures such as ultrasonic cleaning, which utilizes tiny water bubbles to agitate the soiled surfaces. The bubbles are created through sound waves, so there is no chance of scratching the items. As these microscopic "balloons" burst, the released gas pressure erodes the unwanted elements from the targeted piece.
