Elements of Basic Fire Restoration Cleaning

Despite the dozens of possible cleaners and products available to help, specific cleaning principles and elements are most directly connected to surface cleaning success. 

• Time – The longer materials remain exposed to soot and smoke damages, the more challenging restoration and cleanup become. 
• Action – After surface cleaning solutions are applied, agitation and scrubbing are often required to have the greatest penetration into the soiled surface. 
  
• Contact – The term contact refers to the time that chemical solutions applied to soiled surfaces need before SERVPRO can remove these impacted soils through wiping. Contact time depends on factors like residue thickness and severity of the soot damage, as well as the temperature of the work environment. 
• Temperature – Changing the temperature of the work area or the surfaces requiring cleaning can be an effective strategy for restoring a property after fires. While extreme temperature differences can be effective against pathogenic threats, raising the workspace temperature increases molecular movement and the pace of chemical processes. 

While cleaning products and overall approaches might vary from job to job, the underlying principles of efficient soot removal and surface cleaning do not change.
