SERVPRO Emphasizes Variety during East Lynn Fire Cleanup

Soiling and other changes that develop in a house are readily identifiable. What might not be sure is how to address them, restoring your East Lynn property to its preloss state. Luckily, there are many cleaning methods that you can rely on to facilitate fire damage restoration. It is easier to explore such ways with the help of a professional team.

The effectiveness of the cleaning methods used during fire restoration in East Lynn homes depends on how vast the affected areas are or the intensity of soiling. The materials in the affected areas also play a role since some are highly vulnerable to moisture exposure, so methods that involve the use of liquids may do more harm than good. SERVPRO evaluates the soils, underlying materials, and the ingredients of a cleaning product.

Categories of cleaning approaches:

• Dry cleaning
• Wet cleaning
• Abrasive cleaning
• Specialized methods

Dry cleaning methods do not involve any liquids. However, their effectiveness is limited against severe soils. Our SERVPRO technicians use dry cleaning as a precursor to other methods or where fire damage only involves light or moderate residue accumulation. One typical dry cleaning method is wiping surfaces with chemical sponges. Wet cleaning helps when significant soiling or deeply embedded materials are involved. Wet cleaning mostly takes chemicals that react with soils loosening the bonds they have with surfaces. Wet cleaning products can also lubricate or dissolve the soil facilitating easier removal. 

Removing Soils Physically

Abrasive cleaning may be regarded as a dry cleaning method since it does not involve any wetting of surfaces. However, abrasive cleaning may degrade the surface, making it a last resort where other forms are deemed ineffective.

Various Abrasive Cleaning Methods

• Blast cleaning with soda or dry ice
• Sandblasting
• Using roto pads
