Fire Damage
Due to the many types of surfaces that can burn, residue and odors are complex. They can be difficult to remove, becoming trapped as surfaces cool. Although smoke and soot may seem to be identical, experienced professionals recognize the important differences, and appropriate emergency action can help in restoring walls and furnishings. Foresight and experience may be the deciding factor in an item being a loss or restorable.
Rainbow International provides professional removal of all smoke residue through the use of well-trained, certified technicians and professional cleaning products. We use state-of-the art techniques (ozone and air space deodorisation with hot fogging) to eliminate the damage.
In the event of fire or smoke damage, do the following:
- Stay calm!
- Inventory contents.
- Open all windows.
- Empty freezer and refrigerator completely if electricity is off. Prop open doors.
- Remove pets (especially birds) to clean environments
Rainbow International will:
- Professionally clean upholstery, carpets, walls, and all other contents.
- Clean and protect chrome trim and hardware on kitchen fixtures and appliances.
- Clean and protect bathroom fixtures from smoke damage.
- Gently wash plants on both sides of leaves with water.
Do not attempt the following:
- Wiping or washing the walls, ceilings, or other absorbent surfaces.
- Using upholstered furniture if it can be avoided.
- Using exposed food goods or canned goods that have been subject to excessive heat.
- Use TVs, stereos, or any other electrical appliances until cleaned and checked.
- Sending smoked garments to an ordinary dry cleaner, because improper cleaning may set the smoke/odour.
- Turn on your heating and air conditioning system if it is not currently on.
