Water Damage Cleanup Strategies for Specific Scenarios

What do you spray after water damage?

After experiencing water damage, it is crucial to act swiftly to prevent further damage and health hazards. One effective measure is to spray a disinfectant solution to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold growth. Commonly recommended disinfectant solutions include:

  • Bleach solution: Mix 1 cup of household bleach per gallon of water.
  • Hydrogen peroxide: Use a 3% solution directly on affected areas.
  • Denatured alcohol: Apply 70% denatured alcohol to surfaces.

Note: Always test the disinfectant solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the surface.
