Spring Cleaning
3/9/2022 (Permalink)
We are finally having some warm weather here in NEMO! With spring in the air, it is time to start thinking about spring cleaning. Below are some tips taken from the following blog from Nationwide. For additional tips follow the link provided here (https://blog.nationwide.com/spring-cleaning-tips-and-tricks/)
Spring cleaning tips
Remove water stains with lemon for a natural faucet fix
This spring, make faucets clean and sparkly by rubbing a lemon half on the water stains. The citric acid helps remove hard water marks. Then, use the other half of the lemon for our next tip.
Clean your microwave by heating lemon juice and rinds in water
Cut a lemon into halves, squeeze the juice into 1/2 cup of water and drop the rinds into the mixture. Microwave for three minutes and let it stand for five minutes without opening the door. The trapped steam will loosen the grime, so you can wipe the microwave clean with less elbow grease.
Use white vinegar to beat shower head buildup
Looking for more natural ways to clean your bathroom? Vinegar can dissolve the mineral deposits accumulate in showerheads over time, causing reduced pressure and water flow. Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar, secure it over the showerhead with a rubber band and leave it overnight to get rid of buildup. Just be sure to run the shower before you hop in, or you risk smelling like vinegar all day.
Clean stainless steel sinks with baking soda
Simply wet your sink and faucet, sprinkle baking soda, and scrub with a sponge. If you need more heavy-duty scrubbing power, add salt to the baking soda.
Use newspaper to clean dirty windows and mirrors
Mix ¼ cup of white vinegar, 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of liquid soap into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the glass and scrub with newspaper for a streak-free window or mirror. The ink acts as a mild abrasive and allows you to make use of old newspapers.

Continuing Education Course .Restoration Industry: Property Fire Damage Restoration.
SERVPRO of Kirksville hosted its 13th annual Continuing Educational course on March 12th, 2020. The course that was offered to our local insurance agents was Restoration Industry: Property Fire Damage Restoration.
Our attendees learned many aspects of a fire damage claims process and how to deal with the aftermath of fire damage. They gained awareness of how quickly a fire in your home or business can start and how quickly that fire can spread. They learned how different materials burn, in order to determine what cleaning process will be most beneficial in returning the fire damage back to preloss condition.
They learned about the differences between a dry or wet soot, fuel oil soot and protein soot. The behavior of smoke, including heat transference, temperatures of smoke and surfaces, airflow patterns, convection and heat lines and the differences in them. This helps us to determine what type of smoke damage they have and the different types of odors that they cause to the home and personal property.
The class also highlighted a homeowners Perception vs reality and how important communication is during the remediation process. By doing so, it helps give the homeowner or business owner confidence in the cleaning process and gives them a sense of order when things seem so chaotic and frightening. The most important job is helping customers put their lives back together. SERVPRO of Kirksville wants to help you, regain that control.
Regaining control after a fire, starts with beginning mitigation as soon as possible. The sooner mitigation begins the sooner you or your customer can start gaining control again. Remembering that speed is key. The longer that an item is exposed, the greater the chance of additional damage. The more that you restore the less you have to replace. Immediate response lessens damages and will help preserve all the important irreplaceable valuables. SERVPRO of Kirksville is here to be your mitigation partner and to serve as one of your first responders.
We want to thank our instructor and all the agents that were able to attend.

The Story of SERVPRO
3/10/2020 (Permalink)
"Ted and Doris Isaacson created SERVPRO in 1967 as a painting business in Sacramento, California. With a background in cleaning and restoration, Ted and Doris soon transformed the company into a franchisor of cleanup and restoration specialists.
After selling the first franchise in 1969, SERVPRO continued to grow, acquiring the Bristol-Myers Domesticare Division and its 175 franchises in 1979.
SERVPRO relocated its corporate headquarters from Sacramento to Gallatin, Tennessee, in 1988 to place itself within 600 miles of 50% of the U.S. population.
At the time of the relocation, the SERVPRO System consisted of 647 franchises.
The company's headquarters quickly became a key contributor in its community, and in 1991 the Nashville Business Journal named SERVPRO Industries, LLC, the Small Business of the Year. The company continued its impressive growth, selling the 1,000th Franchise in 2000. Learn more about our Awards and Recognition.
In 2005, SERVPRO Industries, LLC, moved to a new 140,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in Gallatin to provide more room for expansion.
More than 1,700 franchises are operating nationwide, and SERVPRO continues to grow. The need for experienced, trained, and professional cleanup and restoration experts is recession resistant, and the growth potential inside of a proven system presents an opportunity for prospective franchisees.

Spring Cleaning is in the Air
3/27/2019 (Permalink)
With Spring in the air, it is time to start thinking about Spring Cleaning. Below are some tips taken from the following blog from Nationwide. For additional tips follow the link provided here (https://blog.nationwide.com/spring-cleaning-tips-and-tricks/)
Spring cleaning tips
Remove water stains with lemon for a natural faucet fix
This spring, make faucets clean and sparkly by rubbing a lemon half on the water stains. The citric acid helps remove hard water marks. Then, use the other half of the lemon for our next tip.
Clean your microwave by heating lemon juice and rinds in water
Cut a lemon into halves, squeeze the juice into 1/2 cup of water and drop the rinds into the mixture. Microwave for three minutes and let it stand for five minutes without opening the door. The trapped steam will loosen the grime, so you can wipe the microwave clean with less elbow grease.
Use white vinegar to beat shower head buildup
Looking for more natural ways to clean your bathroom? Vinegar can dissolve the mineral deposits accumulate in showerheads over time, causing reduced pressure and water flow. Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar, secure it over the showerhead with a rubber band and leave it overnight to get rid of buildup. Just be sure to run the shower before you hop in, or you risk smelling like vinegar all day.
Clean stainless steel sinks with baking soda
Simply wet your sink and faucet, sprinkle baking soda, and scrub with a sponge. If you need more heavy-duty scrubbing power, add salt to the baking soda.
Use newspaper to clean dirty windows and mirrors
Mix ¼ cup of white vinegar, 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of liquid soap into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the glass and scrub with newspaper for a streak-free window or mirror. The ink acts as a mild abrasive and allows you to make use of old newspapers.
