Cleaning Up After Vandalism Strikes Your Home
Where to Start
Homes, unfortunately, are popular targets of vandalism. If vandals ever
strike your property, be careful how you clean up. Improper cleaning can
actually result in added repairs and expenses, according to the disaster
recovery and restoration experts at ServiceMaster Clean.
To help you minimize the damage, ServiceMaster Clean

Do's:
- Wash all residues, including that from eggs or other materials, from
the building exterior.
- Remove any debris or food from carpets or interior walls. Scrape or
blot carpets and furniture. Do not rub.
- Vacuum glass particles from carpet and upholstery. Do not walk barefoot
in the area of glass residue.
