A fire doesn't destroy everything equally — smoke residue and soot can often be professionally removed from items a homeowner would otherwise throw away. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Content Restoration specialists in Swarthmore, PA 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.

Every item removed from the property is photographed and logged before it leaves, creating a clear record for you and your insurer.
Ultrasonic cleaning for hard items, specialized wash cycles for textiles, and ozone treatment for electronics — each material gets the right process.
Belongings are stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility during restoration and repair of your Swarthmore property.
We coordinate the return of belongings so they come back once your home is actually ready for them.
A common concern we hear from Swarthmore 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 Swarthmore families have their own copy alongside the one filed with insurance.
Every item is photographed, tagged, and logged into an inventory system before leaving the property.
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.
Water-damaged or smoke-affected photographs and paper documents are handled individually using specialized drying and cleaning techniques.
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.
