What looks unsalvageable right after a fire is often recoverable with the right cleaning method, especially items people assume are a total loss. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Content Restoration specialists in McLean, VA inventory, pack out, and clean belongings using methods matched to each material.
Every category of belonging — electronics, textiles, photographs, furniture — gets its own treatment method, because what works for a couch would ruin a laptop or a photo album.

We inventory belongings item by item before pack-out, which protects both you and your claim.
Ultrasonic cleaning for hard items, specialized wash cycles for textiles, and ozone treatment for electronics — each material gets the right process.
Your items stay protected in climate-controlled storage while the rest of the Content Restoration scope is completed.
Items are only returned once cleaning is fully verified, and returns are scheduled around your repair timeline.
A common concern we hear from McLean families is whether it's even worth trying to save belongings that look badly damaged, and the honest answer is that appearance right after a fire is often misleading about what's actually salvageable.
A heavily sooted item can look like a total loss while the material underneath is completely undamaged, particularly with glass, metal, and sealed wood.
That said, we're upfront when something genuinely isn't salvageable rather than charging to attempt cleaning on an item with no realistic chance of recovery — the goal is an honest assessment, not maximizing billable items.
We provide a written inventory receipt at pack-out so McLean families have their own copy alongside the one filed with insurance.
We build a documented inventory of every item removed, which becomes part of your insurance file.
Dishware, small appliances, and hard-surfaced items go through ultrasonic cleaning tanks that lift soot from crevices standard cleaning misses.
Electronics get ozone or specialized dry-cleaning treatment rather than liquid cleaning, which can cause further internal damage.
Clothing, curtains, and upholstery go through a specialized wash process designed to remove smoke odor without damaging fabric.
Photographs and important documents get individual attention rather than batch processing, since each piece is often irreplaceable.
Wood furniture gets cleaned and, where needed, refinished to remove smoke staining and odor from the material.
Our team at +1-866-484-1409 walks you through what to expect before the pack-out even begins.
