Chemical sponges lift soot instead of smearing it further into the surface.
We match method to material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Tile, glass, and metal respond well to solvent cleaners that would stain something more absorbent.
Acidic residue on hardware and fixtures neutralized before pitting sets in.
Overhead surfaces carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique.
Cleaned on the same visit, not a separate appointment.

Wiping tends to smear fine particulate deeper into porous surfaces.
We prioritize metal fixtures early specifically because of that window.
Yes, porous and non-porous surfaces respond to completely different agents.
Particulate removal and odor neutralization are related but distinct services.
Yes, HEPA extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning starts.
