Contents Cleaning & Restoration in SW Florida
After water, fire, smoke, or mold damage, your personal belongings – furniture, clothing, electronics, photographs, artwork, documents, and family heirlooms – may appear ruined. But in many cases, professional contents restoration can save items that would otherwise be replaced at much greater expense. WrightWay Emergency Services provides comprehensive contents cleaning and restoration for homes and businesses throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Fort Myers, Naples, and all of SW Florida. Our goal is simple: save more, replace less, and return your valued possessions to you in the best possible condition.
What Is Contents Restoration?
Contents restoration is the specialized process of cleaning, decontaminating, deodorizing, and restoring personal property and business assets affected by disaster. It applies to a wide range of items and damage types:
- Water-damaged contents – furniture, electronics, documents, and soft goods affected by water intrusion or flooding
- Smoke and soot-damaged contents – residue from fire events deposited on furnishings, fabrics, and hard goods throughout the structure
- Mold-affected contents – items contaminated by mold growth or mold spores
- Odor-affected contents – items absorbing persistent odors from smoke, biological sources, or chemicals
Items We Restore
- Furniture – wood, upholstered, and metal furnishings are cleaned, refinished, and deodorized
- Electronics – computers, TVs, appliances, and media equipment are cleaned using specialized electronics cleaning techniques
- Documents & photographs – freeze-drying and digital scanning recover water-damaged documents and irreplaceable photos
- Artwork & antiques – specialized conservation techniques for paintings, prints, and antique pieces
- Clothing & textiles – professional laundering, dry cleaning, and ozone treatment for garments and linens
- Kitchen items – dishware, cookware, and food-contact surfaces cleaned to food-safe standards
- Business inventory – commercial contents restored to reduce business interruption costs
1. On-Site Inventory
Every item is photographed, cataloged, and assessed for restorability. We use industry-standard contents inventory software that integrates with insurance Xactimate/Xactcontents platforms, providing the detailed documentation your carrier requires. Items are categorized as restorable, non-restorable, or requiring specialist evaluation.
2. Pack-Out (When Needed)
Items requiring off-site restoration are carefully packed using industry-standard materials and transported to our cleaning facility. Our contents pack-out process includes barcoded tracking so every item is accounted for throughout the process.
3. Cleaning & Restoration
Each item receives the appropriate treatment: ultrasonic cleaning for hard goods, dry cleaning or laundering for textiles, HEPA vacuuming for soot removal, antimicrobial treatment for mold, and deodorization using ozone chambers or hydroxyl treatment. Furniture is stripped, refinished, or reupholstered as needed.
4. Quality Control & Return
Restored items pass quality inspection before being returned to your property. We coordinate delivery timing with the reconstruction schedule so contents arrive when the space is ready to receive them.
The Financial Case for Contents Restoration
Insurance adjusters and policyholders alike benefit from contents restoration. Restoring items typically costs 20–40% of replacement value, reducing overall claim costs while returning sentimental items that have no replacement equivalent. For commercial properties, restoring inventory and equipment gets businesses operating sooner than waiting for replacement orders.

We had the best experience with Wrightway! We had a flooding incident from our AC system that seeped into the walls and under the laminate flooring. They were prompt, professional and did a great job drying out and cleaning up everything for us! We also had them do the repairs and we were 100% impressed with their work! Everyone we came in contact with in the office and into our home were respectful and knowledgeable. They worked with us on a great price! We can't say enough about a great experience during a stressful time! A special shout out to Alicia who was great to work with! Thank you all so much!

I am particularly grateful for the outstanding cusomer service, follow-up and coordination that Greg Day did with my insurance company to address this claim. Thank you, Wrightway!
