Mold Damaged Belongings - Assonet

Don't try to restore yourself, let professionals do it.

Most times when personal belongings are damaged by mold, they will just get thrown away and replaced. At SERVPRO of the Attleboros, we believe in “restoring” rather than “replacing”

There are specific techniques for mold cleaning and recovery for:

• Clothing
• Paintings
• Other possessions

Trying to remove mold and its odors from these yourself could cause further damage. Instead, contact a clothing restoration professional for their service.

Restoring paintings:

Professionals will first, determine the type of paint and materials on the surface. Oils, water colors, and acrylics require different treatments for a successful cleaning. Each piece of the painting (canvas, wood, frame) will be treated individually as well

See here for more information from MOMA

Clothing:

Fabrics are like a breeding ground for mold to spread. One reason is because fabric absorbs moisture. Mold remediation professionals use multiple techniques to save your clothing. These can include: dry cleaning, or special detergents. If you have a very sentimental piece of clothing, such as a wedding dress or tuxedo, that has been damaged by mold, contact a professional such as http://thedrycleanerbyval.com/services/
