A fire doesn't destroy everything equally — smoke residue and soot can often be professionally removed from items a homeowner would otherwise throw away. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Content Restoration specialists in Shafer, MN inventory, pack out, and clean belongings using methods matched to each material.
Electronics get ozone treatment rather than liquid cleaning to avoid further damage, textiles go through specialized wash processes, and delicate items like photographs get handled individually rather than run through a standard process.

Every item removed from the property is photographed and logged before it leaves, creating a clear record for you and your insurer.
Electronics, fabric, and furniture are treated with entirely different methods, matched to what actually works for each.
Belongings are stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility during restoration and repair of your Shafer property.
We coordinate the return of belongings so they come back once your home is actually ready for them.
A common concern we hear from Shafer families is whether it's even worth trying to save belongings that look badly damaged, and the honest answer is that appearance right after a fire is often misleading about what's actually salvageable.
Soot sitting on the surface of an item for a short time often looks worse than the underlying damage actually is, especially on hard, non-porous materials.
That said, we're upfront when something genuinely isn't salvageable rather than charging to attempt cleaning on an item with no realistic chance of recovery — the goal is an honest assessment, not maximizing billable items.
Every Shafer pack-out includes a signed inventory receipt for your own records, separate from the copy we send to your insurer.
We build a documented inventory of every item removed, which becomes part of your insurance file.
Ultrasonic cleaning reaches into grooves and joints that hand-cleaning simply can't access.
We avoid liquid cleaning on electronics entirely, using ozone and dry methods instead to protect internal components.
Textiles get treated with a wash process built specifically for smoke residue, different from a standard laundry cycle.
Water-damaged or smoke-affected photographs and paper documents are handled individually using specialized drying and cleaning techniques.
Wood furniture gets cleaned and, where needed, refinished to remove smoke staining and odor from the material.
Calling +1-866-484-1409 connects you with a content restoration coordinator who schedules a pack-out visit.
