Cleaning Products Used Post-Water Damage in New Orleans Homes

Cleaning up after water loss incidents can be a considerable undertaking for homeowners after a disaster in their New Orleans home. Because many of these same property owners have already entrusted their properties to the experience of our SERVPRO team, we can offer this post-water damage cleaning for your property as part of the total restoration package we provide. Using premier cleaning products that each offer different advantages can allow us to choose the ideal approach for restoring your damaged residence.

Choosing the right product to begin water cleanup in New Orleans homes depends on several factors. Scoping the work to get done and continual monitoring of the progress can help to determine the best use of our resources and products to clean and recover your damaged residence. Ultimately, the choice in the most capable cleaning agents comes down to:

    •    Location of the occupants of the residence during the cleaning phase
    •    The severity of residues and potential contaminants
    •    Cleaning action necessary (i.e., the emulsion of soils, neutralizing odors, wiping surfaces clean)

Chlorines
Much like the iodine-based disinfectants that used to be an everyday staple of disaster recovery efforts like flooding, chlorines can offer the same elimination and removal of harmful microorganisms without the threat of staining materials yellow. Chlorine-based cleansers have a harsh odor and can irritate those directly exposed.

Quaternary Compounds
Ammonium-based quaternary compounds are one of the more popular disinfectants that our SERVPRO professionals use because they have a naturally pleasant odor and can get used as a foundational tool to neutralize lingering scents after the disaster.

Botanicals
When relocation is not happening in any capacity after a water loss incident, botanicals can be a very non-offensive approach to cleaning and restoring the affected areas.

Using the criteria listed, we can choose among several categories of cleansers to find the best product for the restoration required. No matter what your home needs, our SERVPRO of The New Orleans Westbank team can help. Give us a call anytime that you need us at (504) 348-7526.
