Cleaning & Restoration May 1998

Disaster Kleenup, Better Floors & Restoration Wins the Phoenix Award for Restoration -

Last fall, heavy smoke from an electrical fire severely damaged the Fountain of Hope Church in Los Angeles. The turn of the century church had original hand painted artwork on beams spanning its 46' high ceilings, intricate ceramic tile mosaics, stained glass windows, and other amenities which could not be replaced. Traditional methods of dry sponging, wet cleaning, and possible sand blasting of surfaces were too risky. Dennis Blake, CR, of Better Floors decided to try the boldest application of cryogenic cleaning that has been attempted to date. Since dry ice blasting produces no secondary waste, Dennis was able to collect most of the smoke residue with air scrubbers during the cleaning process. By adjusting the pressure produced by the machine, they were able to clean delicate items as well as sturdy ones. Competitive estimates for "conventional" cleaning methods were over $400,000. Disaster Kleenup/Better Floors was able to return the hand painted beams, stained glass, stucco, Spanish tile walls and floor pavers to the congregation odor free and detail clean for about $120,000. It was easy to tell that Dennis was very happy to receive the award at the convention. We all enjoy success from time to time, but the personal satifaction of being the best has no comparison!
