SERVPRO’s EPA-Registered Sanitation Solutions Add Odor Control to Fort Lauderdale Fire Cleanup

Fort Lauderdale homeowners may be surprised to know that even a successfully smothered kitchen fire can leave behind lingering effects. Invisible protein residues are both foul-smelling and challenging to remediate with consumer-grade cleaners.

How Do SERVPRO Technicians Control Protein Residue Odors?

Burnt proteins leave behind a lingering and potent odor that requires specialized cleaning solutions to remove thoroughly.

• Protein residues require enzyme digesters to turn these soils into water-soluble byproducts for ease of cleaning.
• Residues can then be removed with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
• Wastewater free of dry cleaning solvents is disposed of in a treated sewer. In contrast, solvents are dumped at an approved industrial waste disposal location.
