        "text": "While it might seem manageable, cleaning up fire damage yourself is not recommended. Soot contains acidic particles that can cause further corrosion to surfaces and respiratory issues if not handled properly.

Professional restoration companies use industrial-grade equipment, specialized cleaning agents, and personal protective equipment to safely and effectively remove contaminants, neutralize odors, and prevent additional property damage or health risks.",
