Water Damage Cleanup Specific Scenarios

What do you spray after water damage?

Water damage can be a devastating event, causing significant damage to your home or business. After the water has been removed, it is important to take steps to clean up and prevent further damage. One important step is to spray the affected area with a disinfectant to kill bacteria and mold.

There are a variety of disinfectant sprays that can be used for water damage cleanup. Some of the most common include:

• Bleach: Bleach is a powerful disinfectant that can kill bacteria and mold. It is important to use bleach in a well-ventilated area and to avoid contact with skin or eyes.
• Vinegar: Vinegar is a natural disinfectant that can kill bacteria and mold. It is less harsh than bleach, making it a good choice for areas where there is concern about chemical exposure.
• Hydrogen peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant that can kill bacteria and mold. It is also a bleaching agent, so it can help to remove stains from surfaces.

When spraying a disinfectant, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection, and to ventilate the area well.

Allow the disinfectant to dry completely before entering the area. Once the area is dry, you can begin to clean and repair the damage.
