Different Cleaning Methods that Help Restore Commercial Fire Damage in Affected Wilmington Salons
When your beauty parlor is affected by a fire incident, you make losses that reach beyond the items damaged by the flames. Extended closure of the facility leads to loss of revenue or even customers. The central aspect of restoring commercial fire damage is cleaning. Choosing the right approach can help complete the process faster or save more items. As a professional in the fire restoration business, SERVPRO utilizes different cleaning techniques, including:
Dry Cleaning
- Cleaning
- Foam Cleaning
- Spray and Wipe
- Abrasive Cleaning
- Immersion Cleaning
Cleaning a salon after a commercial fire damage incident in Wilmington may require more than one method. It might also require a progressive approach whereby you start with one method then progress to the next. For instance, since fires leave fine dry residue from smoke or ash, it is a good idea to start with dry cleaning before progressing to wet cleaning. Our SERVPRO technicians use feather dusters, dry cleaning sponges, and dusting cloths to remove particulate soiling and light debris.
Soot and other smoke residues adhere to surfaces such as ceilings and walls requiring extra effort to remove. Wet cleaning provides better results compared to dry cleaning because the saturation process helps loosen the soils. Our SERVPRO crews can use plain water during wet cleaning, but for better results, we also add detergent or other cleaning agents to help break down soils further. With this approach, we can help eliminate the need to repaint or apply other finishes to the walls and ceiling in your beauty parlor.
Sometimes there is a need to clean surfaces or materials without saturating them massively. For example, if there is a patch of soiling on an upholstery item such as a seat, saturating the entire item only lengthens the cleaning process and might also introduce complications such as dyes running and shrinking due to wetness. Our SERVPRO technicians avoid such complications by using the “spray and wipe” approach, which helps regulate the amount of cleaning agent used. We also use foam cleaning, which applies minimal cleaning solution on the item even when we clean it entirely. We have specialized foam generation tools such as Tampico upholstery brush or pump sprayer, which delivers ready foam efficiently.
A balanced cleaning process is beneficial to your business in many ways. Call SERVPRO of New Hanover at (910) 762-8180 to help eliminate all soiling from the fire, “Like it never even happened.”
