coat finish often takes on smoke odor that is hard to remove. Most furniture has a protective layer only on the sides that people see, like the top of the table, but the underside does not have a finish on it. The wood’s pores open up with the heat and then close as it cools, trapping the smoke odor within the wood itself. Your restoration specialist will clean the wood and then use an ozone machine to elim inate any remaining odors. If neces sary, they will use an encapsulant to seal in any remaining smoke odors. It is a very stressful situation when ever a fire occurs. However, having a plan in place and having a rela tionship with a local remediation spe cialist and your insurance broker can ensure a smooth, speedy process to clean up and pay for the damages in your home or office. n
