Walls may be washed down while still wet.  Use a mild soap or detergent and rubber gloves.  Wash a small area at one time, working from the ceiling down.  Ceilings should be washed first.  Rinse with clear water immediately.  DO NOT PAINT UNTIL THOROUGHLY DRY.

Wallpaper (Washable)
1) Heat and ventilate the room for several days to dry plaster and the paper.
2) If mildewed, wipe washable paper with a cloth and thick soap suds.  Rinse with clear water.
3) Re-paste edges or loosened sections.
4) When washing wallpaper, work quickly so paper does not become soaked.  Work from the top to the bottom to prevent streaking.

Linoleum Flooring - When water remains underneath linoleum for a period of time, odors and breakdown of wood begins.  There are many ways to remove or lift the linoleum from the floor.  Contact a full service fire/smoke and water restoration company for further information.

Wood and Tile Flooring - As wood flooring dries out, the potential for the flooring to buckle increases.  Water that gets under tile floors may cause the tiles to loosen.  Contact a full service fire/smoke and water restoration company for further information.  It is advisable to contact a flooring contractor for consultation on potential flooring repair.
