Esporta Wash System – A New Kind of Clean

8/5/2024 (Permalink)

esporta-machine The Esporta Wash System is compact, yet highly effective.

Throughout the company history, SERVPRO® has taken a leadership role by leveraging human capital and emerging technologies, especially in the cleaning space. One of the latest additions is changing the game for soft contents restoration. The Esporta Wash System is literally transforming the restorative cleaning process for both its speed and effectiveness.

Traditional washing machines use paddles, agitation, or tumbling action to move fabrics and other soft items around in a water and detergent mixture, hoping to dislodge dirt, soot, and other contaminants in the process. Harsh detergents, many with phosphates or solvents have been used over time, damaging textile fibers and prematurely wearing out fabrics. Despite its limitations, this technology has been in use for more than eighty years.

The Esporta Wash System uses hydraulic action to force both contaminants from soft goods. The force has been compared to that of ocean waves crashing on the beach sand. This new technology, when combined with our line of environmentally friendly detergents can be used to restore 90% of soft contents items that have been affected by bio-waster, soot, mold, bacteria, grime, mildew, and offensive odors. Shoes, bedding, leather items, coats, and even purses can be cleaned utilizing this system.

Often after a water or fire loss, many items that hold sentimental value seem to be a total loss, and in the past these items were disposed of. Using the Esporta Wash System, our team can recover many of those items, providing you and your family with one more reason to choose SERVPRO for all your restoration needs. Additionally, most insurance policies will cover the process, as it is less costly to clean, rather than replace.

The Dangers of Hoarding:

Although hoarding is sometimes misinterpreted, there can be serious repercussions. 

The following are a few risks connected to hoarding:

Fire Risks: Clutter and piles of possessions can block paths and provide fire risks. This mess can make it difficult to evacuate in an emergency and seriously jeopardize the residents' safety.

Health Risks: Dust, mold, and bugs thrive in hoarding situations. Unhygienic conditions and poor air quality can cause infections, respiratory problems, and other health problems.

Structural Damage: The weight of collected objects alone can cause a building's structural integrity to be compromised, possibly resulting in collapses or other structural damage.

Isolation and Neglect: Hoarding can contribute to the disregard of fundamental necessities and frequently results in social isolation. People can discover that they are unable to keep up a respectable standard of living or obtain necessary services.
