We don't simply clean textiles — We professionally restore them.
Why Smoke Damage Requires Expert Treatment
Smoke damage is not surface-level. Microscopic soot particles and acidic combustion residues penetrate deep into fabric fibers. Without proper remediation, odors re-emerge and fabric integrity deteriorates over time.
The Science of Smoke Damage
Microscopic particles
Acidic compounds
Molecular penetration
Combustion byproducts create three layers of damage: surface soot that clings to fibers, acidic residue that breaks down fabric integrity, and volatile organic compounds that produce persistent odor. Standard washing only addresses the surface—our R.E.S.T.O.R.E.™ process targets all three layers.
Key Fact: Without proper remediation, smoke odor can re-emerge months later—even after standard cleaning.

Items with heavy char damage may not be salvageable, but smoke odor and soot residue can often be completely eliminated.
Our process uses a multi-layered approach: HEPA filtration removes surface soot, then Hydroxyl Structured Oxidation (HSO), thermal fogging, controlled ozone treatment, and eco-safe deodorization agents work at the molecular level to neutralize smoke odor—not just mask it.
