What Nearby Surfaces Are Affected By a Stovetop Fire?

• Walls and ceilings are likely to have a light dusting of dry soot sticking to them.
• Soot particles settle in cracks and crevices, including on electronics, appliances, and in fixtures like sinks and cabinets.
• Porous surfaces like aprons, oven mitts, wood furniture, and kitchen towels can soak up soot and odors and may require additional care to return them to a preloss state.

How Does SERVPRO Restore Fire-Damaged Wood Cabinets?

Cabinetry affected by fires is likely to require several different cleanup solutions, including the following:

• Dry cleaning sponges designed to mitigate light, dry soot deposits, especially in cabinet interiors.
• Wood Creme Paste to address heavier stains. Because soot turns acidic from exposure to water, many heavy-duty soot cleaning solutions are alkaline in nature.
• Metal hinges suffering from corrosion or other damages from soot may be more cost-effective to replace than restore, depending on their condition.
• Abrasion blasting with gentle media like soda ash and corn cobs to remove surface char while preserving your fixtures.

SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South is prepared to keep your property looking, “Like it never even happened.” Call (954) 776-2000 to start the mitigation process.
