However, there are different types and uses for cleaning solutions, and our SERVPRO team is aware of the proper application of each of them. As we prepare for different scenarios, we identify which cleaning solutions and techniques work well depending on:

• The scope of the damage including the path of the smoke and where soot settles
• The material the surface is made of, especially whether it is natural or humanmade
•  The exposure time to flames and the ensuing extinguishing agents

As we gather the information, we match each surface and need with the appropriate cleaning solution and apply it based on EPA recommendations and guidelines. This meticulous approach protects your belongings from further damage caused by abrasive cleaners.
