What Are Textiles and How to Clean Them

Contaminated textiles happen at almost all water damages and fires damages.  Our team at SERVPRO of Texarkana routinely packs up contaminated items and takes them to our in house cleaning facility for sanitation.  

What Are Textiles?

Picture your home being flipped upside down. Everything that is not attached to the house itself will fall down.  Those items that fall are called contents.  Now imagine going through all those fallen items and sorting them by what broke versus what did not break.  The items that did not break are most likely textiles.

Textiles include items like:

• Sheets
• Blankets
• Shoes
• Clothing
• Stuffed animals
• Toys
• Sports equipment, including helmets
• Hats

We take all of these kinds of items from your property and get them ready for a specialized sanitation wash in a machine called the Esporta.
