Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

After the water has been removed and the property has dried, the next step is cleaning and sanitizing. This is the process of removing any remaining dirt, debris, and bacteria from the property.

Why Cleaning is Important

Even after the water has been removed, there may still be dirt, debris, and bacteria on your property. This is because water can carry bacteria and other harmful organisms. If these materials are not removed, they can cause health problems, such as respiratory infections and skin rashes.
