The average household washes 7.4 loads or about 50 pounds of laundry per week. Now add the fact that you just had a fire or mold disaster in your home, and now you need to clean every bed linen and piece of clothing affected by the odor, plus coordinating with contractors and insurance adjusters every step of the way. The last thing you want on your to-do list after a situation like this is to have more laundry to wash, dry, and fold, but if you don't, smoke can further permeate into these soft linens, and mold spores can continue to develop and can cause serious health effects.  

Wash more with less loads

For this reason, it is essential to clean items affected by smoke and mold. For an entire household's worth of clothes, it can take a long time in traditional washing machines. The average residential washer can clean about 12-16 pounds of laundry per load, and once you start cleaning more oversized comforters, duvets, and blankets, that adds up to be a lot more loads per week. What if you could clean 100 pounds of laundry per load and still get items super clean? Using the Esporta Wash System, laundry is cleaned using a six-stage cleaning process and can return items to food-grade clean while maintaining a high capacity. Cleaner laundry in fewer loads per week. That sounds like magic. Well, it's not. It's the foundation of the soft contents restoration process at Northwest Contents and thousands of other restoration companies across North America. Given this technology and the ability to clean this well at a larger scale, we can restore sentimental and priceless items like your child's first baby blanket, a favorite stuffed animal, or even your wedding dress. No amount of replacement money can replace the memories those items have for you and your family.
