We are leaders in soot cleaning services in Lane County.

Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are highly trained and certified to clean and restore soot damage in homes and commercial businesses in Springfield. Soot is challenging to clean due to its unique composition, physical properties, and the surfaces it often adheres to. Soot is primarily composed of fine carbon particles that result from incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as wood, oil, or gas. Several factors contribute to its difficulty in cleaning:

Fine Particle Size: Soot particles are extremely small, often in the micron or submicron range. Their minuscule size allows them to penetrate porous materials deeply, making removing them entirely challenging.

Stickiness: Soot particles have an adhesive quality, causing them to adhere strongly to surfaces. This adhesive nature makes them resistant to cleaning methods like wiping or dusting.

Chemical Complexity: Soot is not just carbon; it can contain a mix of chemicals, including tar, oils, and various contaminants, depending on the source of the fire. These compounds can be difficult to dissolve or remove with standard cleaning agents.

Surface Variability: Soot can settle on various surfaces, including walls, ceilings, fabrics, and electronics. Each surface may require a different cleaning approach and specialized techniques to prevent damage during cleaning.
