Packing Out a Smoke-Filled Home
A kitchen fire that never left the stove can still fill every closet with smoke. Bedding, clothing, toys, books and electronics can pick up residue and odor far from the kitchen. Families often assume it is all ruined. Much of it is not.
A contents specialist inventories each item with photos, packs it and moves it to a climate-controlled facility. There, hard goods go through ultrasonic tanks, fabrics through restoration wash systems, and electronics through dedicated cleaning. Items return cleaned, deodorized and checked off against the inventory.
Timing matters with belongings. Soot on electronics keeps corroding, wet paper can grow mold in two days, and odor keeps sinking into fabric. Specialists typically move the most fragile items first, starting with electronics, damp documents and photographs. Heirlooms like quilts, framed art and keepsakes can be flagged for extra care, and some may go to conservators who handle textiles or fine art.

Contents Cleaning Questions
What is a contents pack-out?
It means your belongings are logged, packed and moved off site for cleaning and storage.
Can stuffed animals and clothing be saved?
In many cases, yes. Restoration washing and deodorizing removes soot and odor from most textiles.
How are electronics cleaned after a fire?
Soot is removed from inside and outside the device before it is turned on. Do not plug them in first.
Can wet photos and documents be saved?
Freeze-drying can save many wet documents and photos. Act quickly to prevent mold.
How long are my belongings stored?
Belongings typically stay in storage until the house is ready. Storage time affects cost.
What happens to items that can't be cleaned?
They are photographed, described and listed for your insurance claim. Disposal is done with your approval.
