Restored porcelain through ultrasonic Cleaning

Long After a Fire: Many types of materials and even the items themselves can retain significant levels of moisture. Moisture absorbed by an item that has not been properly dried, or that remains on or near the surface, may quickly become a breeding ground for molds and bacteria or other potentially hazardous residues (again, depending on what has burned).

In a process called cavitation, bubbles form and grow. Prior to the bubble implosion, there is a tremendous amount of energy stored inside of them. When the implosion occurs near a hard surface, it changes the bubbles into a jet, which travels at extremely high speeds towards the hard surface. With the combination of pressure, temperature, and velocity, the jet frees contaminants from their bonds with the substrate. Because of the small size of the jet and the large energy, ultrasonic cleaning reaches into the small crevices and removes entrapped soils very efficiently.
