Cleaning

When contractors outside our company want to hire a contents team to help them with a difficult project, they choose us because our frontline workers are well trained, well equipped and highly efficient. Our track record speaks volumes even before we arrive on the scene. We focus on contents and nothing else. Our contents project […]

Of course you have probably already guessed that the contents pros are not ordinary restorers. Someone once referred to them as the, “MacGyvers of Restoration.” They are innovators, creators, improvisers (and some say “magicians”). Recently, we saw one use an ordinary rubber band to remove a stripped screw from an old dresser. Another lubricated a […]

When the contents pros arrive at a home or office after a fire, there are many things they want to know. For example, what kind of fire was it? Was it an oily, greasy kitchen fire? Or was it a high heat (paper and books) type fire? Did plastics burn? Was water used to extinguish […]

We don’t have answers for every concern offered by a client, but we can often allay their fears with a little knowledge. When a homeowner says, “I’ve got quite a few paintings in the house and I’ve heard that ozone generators can damage the pigments,” we can respond with, “Well, in that case perhaps we […]

Unless you follow the contents pros around on a job, there is no reason for you to notice that they rarely (if ever) spray their cleaning solutions on a television screen or kitchen counter. They normally spray such solutions on a microfiber cloth, then use the moistened cloth to clean or disinfect the surface in […]

In our experience, if a client doesn’t know what we are doing, they assume we are doing it wrong! We know it sounds absurd, but time and again when clients already think they are under attack (fight or flight), they feel there is an enemy before them, and since we are the only ones present, […]

It probably comes as no surprise that the contents professionals give special attention to high touch areas when restoring a home or office after a fire or flood. Light switches, cabinet and drawer pulls, toilet and refrigerator door handles, door knobs, etc., all get not only a thorough cleaning but the application of a disinfection […]

We have been gathering stories from all over the world about the kindness and generosity of the contents pros. Like the team that hired a costumed “Batman” to give memorabilia to a boy who had lost his collection in a fire (the pros paid for it). O the contents specialists who climbed down into a […]

John Andrew Perello was exhibiting his $400,000 abstract mural called, “American Graffiti,” in a South Korean museum. It looked like… well… graffiti. There were even buckets of paint and spray cans strewn about for effect. Along came a Korean couple who saw the paint and thought it was an invitation to participate (street art) – […]

The contents pros have numerous ways to remove graffiti, soot, paint and even the char from wood that has been in a fire. Building restoration teams have removed rust from steel girders, grime from historical monuments and even layers of spray paint from cars and trucks. Imagine a powerful air gun that blasts forth a […]
