Deep cleaning is the only way to remove surface damages that are associated with an out-of-control blaze. Fires can result in the displacement of building occupants, from homeowners to apartment tenants, who must relocate due to unsafe conditions. Soot marks the home or office that survives a fire. Attempting to do a half-cleaning job will not fix the problem, nor will it allow you to return to the way of life prior to the fire. 

In such cases, hire a professional cleaning company to erase those marks. A DIY cleaning job will only leave your dwelling place looking worse. Contaminations will stay where they are without professional cleaning equipment.

Contamination Requires Deep Cleaning

Fire damages are deadly during and after an event. Contamination can linger due to the potency of smoke and soot, not to mention the toxic possibilities of water left over from the fire department’s visit. Contamination requires deep cleaning because there is no easy way to remove these biohazards – at least not by yourself.

In fact, irreversible damage is an unfortunate side effect of fires. You should never attempt to scrub painted walls or decor following fire damages. Carpet and furniture cannot simply be washed. Cleaning products that are inappropriate to the situation leads to additional destruction, often making it impossible to fully salvage items or areas of the building.

Deep Cleaning Soot

Soot-covered items require special attention. Home appliances can become permanently stained if soot is rubbed into the surface by uninformed attempts to clean. An authorized repair service uses high-tech equipment to deal with soot thoroughly. Our vacuums are built to remove loose particles from every surface without redistributing it into the air to continue causing damage. 

With a combination of hard work and special training, our technicians can deep clean both residential and commercial properties. We make it our job to mitigate the pervasive, noxious (sometimes toxic or corrosive) odors left over by a fire. Our staff is fully bonded and insured for the removal of smoky odors and soot damage. With Soil-Away on your side, you’ll know we got rid of all the toxins.

The Aftermath of a Fire: Who to Call

While there are ways to spot-wash minor soot stains from the household walls, attempting to remove soot and other fire-made marks can be dangerous. Without professional services, you can risk your well-being–and the well-being of the people around you–and worsen the situation. In case of a fire, the best thing to do is move on as quickly as possible, which means letting the pros do the work.

Deep cleaning and disinfection are a big part of picking up the pieces in the aftermath of a disaster. Whether it’s from flooding, fire, or an unseen mold invasion, loss restoration is a step-by-step process to save your properties and belongings.

It’s not easy to prepare for destructive nature. What is important is how you proceed once the damage has run its course or been discovered. After all, extreme natural conditions can lead to financial losses on commercial properties and can impact their ability to do business. Each cause of damage has its own hallmarks that will force a decision:

• Storm Damage: Violent storms passing through the region have the potential for causing severe damage from lightning strikes, high winds that knock down structures, and rainwater that seeps into every crack.
• Freezing Temperatures: Bitterly cold winters and below-freezing wind chills cause pipes to freeze and burst. This is one of the most unpredictable and destructive conditions in nature and causes millions of dollars in commercial damage each year.
• Flash Flooding: An invasion of excessive rainwater requires specialized handling. Not only will it create mold and damage structure foundations, but it can also bring toxic materials to your door, including oil, chemicals, and debris.

At Soil-Away, our team will properly mitigate damages, clean up the disaster, and restore your facility. Deep cleaning and disinfection aren’t easy, but we know how to do them in a cost-saving way so you can reach your goal.

Deep Cleaning and Disinfection: Removal

One touchpoint is the removal of affected materials. For example, porous building materials, such as drywall and carpeting, should be disposed of ASAP. Once torn-out debris is taken care of, the remaining areas must be deep-cleaned and sanitized.

We use cutting-edge tools to accomplish deep cleaning and disinfection, including HEPA vacuums and air scrubs. For the sake of being thorough, we also sand, dry-ice blast, and use other expert techniques to give you maximum cleanliness. Excessive mold spores are never a good thing, so it’s important to completely clean the area to avoid further long-lasting damage.

Once toxic materials have been disposed of and the areas are cleaned, we dry the areas with large fans and dehumidifiers. With the property in the clear, we can begin replacing any damaged components with fresh materials.

Deep Cleaning and Disinfection: Salvaging Belongings

Following the removal of ruined materials, we will identify any salvageable items. With the effectiveness of the Esporta Wash System, we restore soft contents and textiles to a food-grade safe level. We’ll store and then properly clean belongings like sports gear and other thick materials. If you act quickly, there’s a chance that you won’t lose too much in the way of belongings.

We’ll inventory, document, and dispose of any unsalvageable items. During the restoration project, our services can expedite your insurance claim process by providing accurate documentation and photos. This way, any damages and details of our restoration procedures will be there for reference.

Restoration and Remediation You Can Rely On

Soil-Away Cleaning & Restoration provides storm damage restoration, biohazard remediation, fire cleanup, and more. We provide full-service emergency restoration services for your commercial properties. We’ll stop water, fire, smoke, and odor damage from destroying your property and belongings.

We bring our best to your door to save the affected areas of your property. Call us now at (603) 641-6555 if your property is at risk.  

Keeping a commercial building clean is challenging enough without the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) making things even more complicated. In addition, keeping your office clean can be a challenge if it’s not maintained regularly. In today’s blog, we’ll look at five tips for deep cleaning your commercial office building.

Deep Cleaning Tip #1: Involve the Entire Team

The first tip for deep cleaning your commercial office building is that it’s not a one-person job. While there are janitorial teams and professional cleaners to do an on-going clean, everyone has a role to play in keeping the office neat and tidy. Find ways to build a culture of responsibility that makes cleanliness a part of the daily routine. Some of the tips that follow play into this.

Cleaning Tip #2: Keep Disinfectant Wipes and Sprays Nearby

The second idea to assist in cleaning is to keep the building stocked with disinfectant wipes, sprays, and other cleaners. Depending on the nature of the work that your company needs, it might be easier to place these items in common areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and storage closets that all employees can access. Making it easier for them to clean their own messes will save time and money on hiring outside cleaning crews.

Deep Cleaning Tip #3: Don’t Forget to Dust Electronics

The third tip involves keeping all electronic devices clean and fresh. Computers, desktop phones, printers, and other technological items should be dusted and sanitized on a regular basis. In many companies, these cleaning tasks are done by an overnight shift or at the beginning of each person’s workday. Finding ways to make these processes seamless can really improve sanitation quality.

Cleaning Tip #4: Schedule Outside Cleaners for After Hours

The fourth suggestion for cleaning your commercial office building is to bring in professional deep cleaners at odd hours. Scheduling these deep cleaning activities for later in the evenings will allow the professionals to work quickly without disturbing the flow of daily business. Additionally, more complicated deep cleaning processes can happen thoroughly without interruptions.

Deep Cleaning Tip #5: Soil-Away–Your Commercial Office Building Cleaners

The fifth and final tip for deep cleaning your building is to hire the best of the best. The team at Soil-Away has been working hard to serve customers for over three decades.
