How is contents cleaning done after a fire?

Contents cleaning after a fire uses four primary methods: dry sponge wiping for loose soot, wet wiping with detergent, ultrasonic immersion cleaning for hard non-porous items, and ozone chamber treatment for fabric and soft goods. Porous items with deep odor saturation are typically disposed rather than restored. Per IICRC S700 §12.
