What Is Contents Cleaning After a Fire?

Contents cleaning refers to the specialized process of cleaning, sanitizing, and restoring items affected by fire, smoke, and water damage. After a fire, many personal and valuable items are coated in soot, damaged by moisture from firefighting efforts, or permeated with smoke odors. If not cleaned properly and promptly, they can become permanently damaged or unsalvageable.

Our contents cleaning after a fire service in Sacramento includes:

  • Inventory & Pack-Out: Cataloging, tagging, and safely removing items from the site.
  • Detailed Cleaning: Using ultrasonic baths, ozone treatments, and dry-cleaning for fabrics and delicate materials.
  • Deodorization: Neutralizing smoke odors with thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators.
  • Sanitization: Eliminating bacteria and harmful residues with safe, effective disinfectants.
  • Storage & Return: Cleaned items are securely stored until your property is ready for re-entry.

Why Contents Cleaning Matters

Even if the structure of your home survives the fire, personal items can suffer irreversible damage from smoke, soot, and water. Acting quickly is crucial:

  • Soot is acidic and can permanently discolor and corrode surfaces.
  • Smoke odor deeply embeds in porous materials like fabric, wood, and paper.
  • Moisture from firefighting can encourage mold and mildew growth.
  • Delayed cleaning can make restoration more expensive or impossible.

PuroClean Home Rescue’s contents cleaning after a fire in Sacramento, CA is designed to reduce loss, lower costs, and preserve sentimental and valuable items.

Our Contents Restoration Process

We follow a meticulous process to ensure thorough and effective restoration of your belongings:

1. Initial Assessment & Inventory

Our certified technicians evaluate all fire-damaged contents, categorize items based on salvageability, and create a digital inventory using barcoding and photo documentation. You’ll receive a complete list of items removed, stored, or deemed unsalvageable.

2. Pack-Out and Secure Transport

Items selected for cleaning are carefully packed using protective materials, labeled, and transported to our secure, climate-controlled contents cleaning facility in Sacramento.

3. Specialized Cleaning and Restoration

Each item undergoes the appropriate restoration process:

  • Ultrasonic cleaning for non-porous items like dishes, tools, and collectibles.
  • Dry cleaning or laundering for clothing, linens, and textiles.
  • Electronics recovery using anti-corrosion treatments and diagnostic testing.
  • Art and document restoration in collaboration with specialists if needed.

4. Deodorization and Sanitization

Advanced deodorizing techniques like ozone treatment and thermal fogging are used to eliminate smoke and chemical odors. All items are also sanitized to ensure they are safe for use once returned.

Although I hope to never need their services again, our experience with PuroClean and getting water and mold removed from our flooring and sheetrock was top notch. They were extremely responsive and worked great with our insurance company (which only covered part of the cost). They were patient and answered questions and worked through some unexpected challenges very effectively and efficiently. As timing for quick remediation was key, their responsiveness and availability was fantastic. We got an A+ mold clearance on the first try so that is proof that the work they did was thorough and of high quality. If I ever have questions or need help with water or mold again (hopefully not!), I would definitely use PuroClean. Much appreciation goes out to Jim for always being reachable (early in morning and even in the evening) and patiently answering questions and providing explanations and next steps.

Had water damage occur while out of town.Called PuroClean to assess the damage and to mitigate. Their rep came out, did a very thorough inspection and determined that no mitigation was necessary and there were no signs of mold. I found PuroClean to be fast, honest and easy to work with…. Recommend 10/10!’
