How do SERVPRO techs clean wood surfaces during fire restoration in West Monroe?
Wood is one of the most common materials easily damaged during a fire incident used in commercial buildings in West Monroe. SERVPRO techs' method to clean wood surfaces depends on how the wood is finished. The three basic types of wooden surfaces are-
- Unfinished wood- Techs use dry cleaning methods such as vacuuming, brushing, and sponge cleaning.
- Finished wood- Wet cleaning is preferred in such situations with a low-alkaline cleaner.
- Photo-finish, simulated wood grain- Restorers also prefer wet cleaning methods for such surfaces.
Post cleaning procedures
Once the wood surface is cleaned of the residues, it often needs to be polished. Woods tend to lose oils due to heat during a fire. Polishing can replenish these oils making the wood look better. We can help to keep your doors open during the fire damage process.
