Professional Fire Content Cleaning
Fire content cleaning salvages smoke-damaged belongings using specialized techniques beyond normal cleaning. Smoke particles embed in fabrics, penetrate electronics, and coat every surface—standard cleaning methods often spread damage or set stains permanently.
Our content restoration facility handles everything from clothing to antiques. We inventory all items photographically for insurance, categorize by cleaning method required, and return cleaned items after structural restoration is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can smoke-damaged electronics be saved?
Often yes. Smoke particles cause corrosion over time if not cleaned. We disassemble and clean electronics with appropriate solvents. Success depends on exposure severity—we evaluate before cleaning.
What about dry clean only clothing?
We use professional dry cleaning methods specifically designed for smoke restoration. Soot requires pre-treatment before standard dry cleaning to avoid permanent setting.
How do you handle heirlooms and antiques?
Specialty items receive individual evaluation and hand-cleaning by trained technicians. We consult with specialists for valuable antiques, artwork, and collectibles.
