Fire damage, water damage, and mold growth in your home can be devastating. Not only do they cause structural damage to your property, but they can also contaminate your home and damage the items within your home. While home restoration services try their best to restore these, sometimes items badly damaged have to be replaced. 

However, this is now a thing of the past. Technology like ultrasonic cleaning has changed restoration and can salvage your possessions. Instead of having to replace your items, they can now be restored instead. Read on to find out what ultrasonic cleaning is, how it works, and how it is used in home restoration.

What Is Ultrasonic Cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning refers to using high-frequency sound waves in water to remove different contaminants such as grime, soot, oil, and mold from various items. The sound waves create microscopic cavitation bubbles that strike against objects and thoroughly clean them. 

When it comes to home restoration, items undergo a pre-wash before the ultrasonic cleaning takes place. They’re also cleaned again after the ultrasonic cleaning to ensure that no minerals stick to them. 

Advantages of Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning is becoming increasingly popular because of the many advantages it has over traditional cleaning methods.

Effective Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning destroys microscopic grime and dirt and reaches crevices that cannot be cleaned otherwise and delivers results that traditional cleaning methods cannot. Items that would have been considered damaged beyond repair and would have needed replacement can be restored using this cleaning method. 

Quick Results

Additionally, ultrasonic cleaning is quicker than other methods and allows you to have your valuables back in your possession as soon as possible. Your property undergoing fire and water damage can be devastating and it can be unsettling not knowing whether your belongings can be saved. Ultrasonic cleaning technology makes unlikely restorations possible and does this in record time, saving you further distress. 

Various Applications 

It’s also extremely effective and can be used on a variety of materials including plastic toys, china, metals, glass, and electronics. Since ultrasonic cleaning has been widely tested and has been used in both fire and flood damage with successful results, it has now become one of the staples used in home restoration. 

Other Advantages 

In addition to being gentle enough to use on delicate items, ultrasonic cleaning is environmentally conscious and extremely effective.

Ultrasonic Cleaning in Restoration

The high-frequency waves used in ultrasonic cleaning can remove everything from dust and grime to soot and mold. It can also tackle a variety of items. In fact, ultrasonic cleaning can be used to clean everything from blinds and kitchen appliances to personal electronics and lighting fixtures. If your home has undergone substantial fire or water damage, ultrasonic cleaning can be used to restore delicate items. 

Fire Damage

Fire damage restoration can be extremely difficult, especially when items are covered with smoke residue and soot. Ultrasonic cleaning not only removes all the soot and grime, but also the smell that can set in after fire damage.

Flooding and Mold Removal

Flooding and other water damage can cause mold in as little as 24-48 hours. Mold can be extremely harmful and can impact you and your family’s health negatively. That’s why it’s essential to thoroughly remove all traces of mold. Ultrasonic cleaning makes this possible by removing mold from every crevice. 

Dirt and Grime

Disaster restoration involves removing dirt and grime that has been embedded into household items and personal belongings. This can be a long and tedious process. Ultrasonic cleaning makes this easier and faster since items can be cleaned quickly without the need to put in a lot of elbow grease.
