You are important to us. We understand your homes are filled with treasures that tell your story. We are here to handle your personal property with respect and care.

If your personal property has been compromised or is in the way of progress, we are ready to help. We will evaluate, inventory, and pack your contents.

Items that need restoration will be brought to our state-of-the-art facility where we are dedicated to cleaning, disinfecting, and eliminating bacteria from your belongings. Our cleaning and processing facility includes the Esporta and ultrasonic machines. The Esporta is a soft goods restoration wonder! We are able to custom wash each load with the exact recipe of solutions and cycles for the best possible result. We also use ultrasonic machines for wet processing, which reduces the need for harsh chemicals and leaves items free of residue. We have the experience and training to confidently handle your personal property.

If your personal property hasn’t been compromised but needs to be moved to accommodate repairs, we will evaluate, inventory, pack, and move it to safe, secure storage. Once repairs to your home are complete, we will bring everything back, unpack it, and, if possible, place it right where we found it.

When Is Contents Cleaning Needed?

Contents cleaning is often necessary after events like water damage, fire, smoke exposure, or mold contamination. If your belongings have been affected by flooding, soot, or odors, or if they have been in an environment with high moisture or contaminants, professional contents cleaning can help restore them. Whether it’s from a disaster or an accident, restoring your personal property quickly and thoroughly can prevent further damage and help you recover sentimental or valuable items.

What Is Contents Cleaning and How Do We Do It?

Contents cleaning is the process of restoring personal belongings that have been damaged by fire, water, smoke, or mold. This involves evaluating each item, determining whether it can be restored, and then using advanced cleaning methods to remove contaminants, odors, and stains.

At Tobin Restoration, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best possible results. Our team begins with a thorough evaluation and inventory of all items. We then pack your belongings with care and transport them to our specialized facility, where they undergo cleaning and restoration. Once cleaned, we store the items in a safe location until your home is ready for their return.

What Is the Esporta Machine and How Does It Work?

The Esporta machine is a revolutionary cleaning system designed to restore soft goods, such as clothing, bedding, and other textiles. Here’s how it works:

• Hydraulic Cleaning Action: Unlike traditional washers that rely on tumbling action, the Esporta machine holds items in place while forcing a mixture of water and cleaning solutions through the fabrics. This method allows for a deep, thorough clean while being gentle on the materials.
• Customized Wash Cycles: Each load is custom washed with the exact combination of cleaning solutions and cycles needed for the specific type of damage and fabric. This personalized approach ensures the best possible outcome for each item.
• Contaminant Removal: The Esporta system can remove up to 99% of contaminants, including bacteria, mold, soot, and even sewage, making it ideal for restoring items after disasters.

Thanks to this technology, we are able to restore up to 90% of soft goods that would otherwise be considered a total loss, saving you from having to replace irreplaceable items.

What Contents Can Be Cleaned?

Our advanced equipment allows us to clean a wide range of personal belongings, including:

• Clothing & Textiles: Everyday clothes, uniforms, jackets, shoes, and delicate fabrics like silk and leather.
• Bedding & Linens: Mattresses, pillows, comforters, and other household fabrics.
• Soft Toys: Stuffed animals and fabric-based toys that have been damaged by smoke, soot, or water.
• Sports Equipment: Items like pads, helmets, and other gear can be cleaned and deodorized with the Esporta machine.

For items that are not made of fabric, we use ultrasonic cleaning technology. This process is ideal for non-porous items such as:

• Electronics: Delicate devices like laptops, cameras, and small appliances.
• Kitchenware: Dishes, silverware, and other hard-to-clean items.
• Fragile Items: Ceramics, glass, and collectibles can be cleaned without damage, leaving them residue-free and sanitized.

Secure Storage and Safe Handling

If your personal property hasn’t been compromised but needs to be relocated for repairs, we will carefully inventory, pack, and store it in our secure facility. Once your home repairs are complete, we will return your belongings, unpack them, and, if possible, place them right where we found them.

Our services include:

• Evaluating and inventorying your belongings, complete with pre-loss condition photos and documentation of any damage.
• Professional packing and transportation to our secure storage facility.
• Cleaning and restoring textiles with specialized equipment.
• Safe and secure storage during repairs.
• Returning, unpacking, and reassembling your items after repairs are completed.

If any items cannot be restored, we provide a detailed inventory and photographs, which can be used for insurance claims. Compensation depends on your individual policy, but our thorough documentation helps streamline the process.

Your Belongings Stay Local

When you trust us with your personal property, rest assured that everything is handled locally. We do not send items across state lines for cleaning, processing, or storage. This ensures not only the safety of your belongings but also timely service.

We are here to take care of the treasures that make your house a home.
