After a fire, there is a rush of activity in an effort to return the damaged spaces to pre-fire condition.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, it is estimated that some 370,000 home fires occur each year, costing close to $7 billion in total property damage. Many of these fires, however, start and are contained in a certain area of a home or business. Even though containment eliminates the necessity for complete demolition and reconstruction, it is still necessary for proper cleaning of soot and smoke in order to restore the property to a pre-loss condition.

Cleaning cabinets after a fire usually means you will more than likely be dealing with a lot of grease and oils built up from cooking and use on top of smoke and soot.
