There are different cleaning methods that can help restore commercial fire damage. When a business is affected by a fire, there are losses that go beyond the items damaged by the flames. Extended closure of your place of business leads to loss of revenue and could possibly lead to lost customers. The main aspect of restoring commercial fire damage is cleaning. And choosing the right company to help complete the cleaning process faster will help you save time, money, and more property. As a trained professional in the fire restoration industry, SERVPRO of Bath utilizes many cleaning techniques, which include:

• Abrasive Cleaning
• Immersion Cleaning
• Foam Cleaning
• Spray and Wipe
• Dry Cleaning

Cleaning a commercial fire could require more than one of the methods noted above. It could also require us to start with one type of approach and then progress to another, so it helps for both the professional and the business owner to keep an open mind. An example of this is when a fire leaves fine dry residue, it is smart to start with a dry-cleaning method before moving toward a wet cleaning method. Our trained technicians can use feather dusters, dry cleaning sponges, and dusting cloths to remove light dry debris.

Smoke and soot residue adhere to surfaces such as ceilings and walls, and these require extra effort to remove. Wet cleaning can provide better results compared to dry cleaning specifically because the saturation process helps loosen soils. Our team of technicians can use plain water during wet cleaning, but for even better results, they can also add cleaning agents to help break down soils. By using this approach, we can possibly eliminate the need to repaint the walls and ceiling of your business.

There may be a need to clean surfaces without saturating them. If there’s soot on an upholstered chair or couch, wetting the entire item will lengthen the cleaning process and could cause complications like  shrinking or runny dyes. Our technicians try to avoid such complications by using the “spray and wipe” approach. This approach will regulate the amount of cleaning devices used. We can also utilize foam cleaning, which applies minimal cleaning solution to items.

A balanced cleaning approach is best for your business if it has suffered from fire damage. Call SERVPRO of Bath, we would be happy to help with your fire damage restoration process.
