Content cleaning
The professional cleaning and deodorizing of personal belongings damaged by fire, smoke, or water. Items are cleaned, dried, and returned, or packed out for off-site work. Content cleaning is itemized separately from the building repair, and it is usually one of the first scopes discussed after a property loss.
