Our Contents Cleaning Services

Smoke & Soot Contents Cleaning

Smoke and soot can settle on furniture, clothing, household belongings, and other contents following a fire. Cleaning recommendations depend on the material, type of residue, extent of exposure, and condition of each item. 

Water-Damaged Contents

Water damage can affect personal belongings through direct contact, elevated moisture, or prolonged exposure. Contents can be evaluated and documented to determine appropriate cleaning, drying, restoration, or other handling recommendations. 

Contents Packout 

When contents need to be removed from an affected property, Hanes can provide packout services to help protect belongings while restoration work takes place.

Contents Storage

Contents may need to be stored temporarily while a property is being cleaned, repaired, or restored. Storage can be incorporated into the contents restoration process when appropriate. 

Contents Documentation

Detailed documentation can help establish what was affected during a property damage event. Depending on the project, documentation may include photographs, descriptions, condition information, and other details related to affected contents.

Cleaning & Restoration Recommendations

Not every item requires the same cleaning method. Hanes evaluates the type of damage and the materials involved to help determine appropriate cleaning or restoration recommendations. 

Emergency Response

Structural and Hepa Cleaning

Soot removal by residue type — dry smoke, wet smoke, protein and fuel residues all require different methods, and the wrong method sets a stain permanently.

Contents Can Be Affected Beyond the Damaged Area

Smoke, soot, water, and odors can affect contents in areas beyond where the original damage occurred.


Depending on the situation, affected contents may include: 

  • Furniture
  • Clothing and textiles
  • Household belongings
  • Decorative items
  • Personal property
  • Documents and paper materials
  • Items stored in closets, cabinets, attics, or other areas
  • Contents affected by smoke or soot
  • Contents affected by water or moisture
  • Items affected by persistent odors


A contents evaluation can help identify which belongings may require cleaning, restoration, specialized handling, or storage. 

Contents Packout & Storage During Restoration

Removing contents from an affected area can make it easier to access surfaces, materials, and other areas requiring restoration.


Hanes can coordinate contents packout and storage when appropriate for the project. Items can be documented and handled as part of the restoration process while work is performed at the property.


Contents may be returned to the property after the necessary cleaning or restoration work is complete, depending on the scope and circumstances of the project. 

Smoke, Soot & Odor Concerns

Fire damage does not always affect contents through visible soot alone. Smoke residues and odors can remain on or within certain materials and belongings.


Hanes can evaluate contents affected by:

  • Smoke
  • Soot
  • Fire-related odors
  • Water used during firefighting
  • Water damage associated with a fire
  • Other property damage conditions


Cleaning and restoration recommendations depend on the type of item and the nature of the damage.
