Greater Chicago Flood Damage Dry Cleaning Company

Water damage can occur in various forms, from broken pipes and clogged toilets to unexpected basement floods. Regardless of the cause, all water damage incidents can result in serious harm to your garments if not addressed promptly. The severity of the damage varies, but quick action is essential to minimize the destruction of your clothes. At Glad Cleaners in Chicago, we specialize in flood-damaged garment restoration, using advanced techniques like dry cleaning, soaking, laundering, and deodorizing to bring your clothes back to their original state. Our expert team can assess your clothing's condition and offer professional advice to ensure you're not discarding items that could be saved.

Effective Water Damage Restoration Techniques

If your clothing has been exposed to water, it’s crucial to act quickly to prevent further damage. At Glad Cleaners, we use a combination of specialized techniques to restore garments and textiles. We carefully assess each item to determine the best course of action based on the fabric type and damage severity. Here are some of the services we provide:

• Dry cleaning: Effective for delicate fabrics that can't withstand traditional washing methods.

• Soaking and laundering: For sturdier fabrics, we use gentle soaking and laundering methods to remove stains and odors.

• Deodorizing: To eliminate lingering moisture and mildew smells, we use professional deodorizing techniques.

Why Quick Action is Critical to Prevent Mold and Mildew

When wet clothes are left untreated for 12 to 24 hours, they become the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow. Mold not only produces a strong, musty odor, but it can also cause discoloration and damage fabric fibers over time. At Glad Cleaners, we know the importance of addressing wet clothing as soon as possible. If mold or mildew has already begun to set in, pre-treating the affected areas with specialized solutions like white vinegar or anti-mold detergents can help. Depending on the fabric, washing in hot water (if suitable) or dry cleaning can effectively eliminate the growth. However, the longer the exposure, the harder it becomes to fully restore the garment.
