Specialty Cleaning Resources

Unknown residue, persistent odor or contaminated materials require a different conversation from ordinary housekeeping.

Specialty Cleaning Resources

Describe the source

Tell us what happened, where the concern appears and what has already been tried. Restrict access to suspected contamination and avoid mixing household chemicals or disturbing unknown material.

Clarify specialist requirements

The material, contamination and setting determine protective measures, handling and disposal needs. Some work calls for qualified specialist services; confirm those arrangements and the scope before treatment.

Connect cleaning and restoration

Where porous materials are damaged, removal or replacement may be more appropriate than repeated surface treatment. Discuss any building repairs and the conditions required before restoring finishes.
