What is Soot Cleaning?

Soot cleaning refers to the process of removing the fine black particles that result from incomplete combustion of materials during a fire. These particles, made up of carbon and other harmful substances, can settle on surfaces throughout your property, including walls, ceilings, furniture, and personal belongings. Left untreated, soot can cause extensive damage, lead to lingering odours, and adversely affect indoor air quality.

What Does Soot Cleaning Entail?

At Rapid Biohazard Cleaning, our soot cleaning process is comprehensive and meticulous. Here’s what it involves:

1. Assessment and Inspection: We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the affected area. This helps us understand the extent of soot damage and the type of soot present, which can vary depending on the materials burned.

2. Containment: To prevent further contamination, we set up containment barriers around the affected area. This ensures that soot particles do not spread to unaffected parts of the property during the cleaning process.

3. Surface Cleaning: Using specialised equipment and techniques, we carefully clean all affected surfaces. This includes dry cleaning to remove loose soot particles and wet cleaning with detergents and solvents designed to break down stubborn soot deposits.

4. Air Purification: Soot particles can linger in the air long after the fire has been extinguished. We use advanced air scrubbers and HEPA filters to remove these particles, ensuring the air in your property is safe to breathe.

5. Odour Removal: Soot can leave behind a persistent smoky odour. We employ deodorisation techniques, such as ozone treatment and thermal fogging, to eliminate these odours, leaving your property smelling fresh.

6. Final Inspection: Once the cleaning is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure all soot has been removed and your property is restored to its original state.
