Preserving Fire-Damaged Dishes with SERVPRO Restoration Strategies

Dishes can absorb high temperatures during a fire and cool down quickly after the flames are extinguished, leading to stress cracks in the ceramic. Some of these fractures may be hidden under soot and not evident on a dish until it is being restored.

Cleaning options for restaurant dishware impacted by fire include the following:

• Pre-soaking heavily soiled dishes in SERVPRO Industrial Cleaner before commencing further treatment
• Ultrasonic immersion cleaning units scrub contents clean with a combination of EPA-registered biocides and high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves, typically calibrated to 40 kHz, agitate liquid molecules, and this movement cleans fire-damaged ceramic at the particle level
• Oily soils can be addressed with pre-treatment in a mildly alkaline cleaning solution before washing. This step can prevent permanent stains from grease fires, which are more challenging to clean than dry soot residues
• Fine dishware made of such materials as crystal glass or porcelain requires a delicate hand during restoration. Technicians typically hand-clean these items as quickly as possible to prevent etching caused by acidic soot residues
