Floods and fire can cause extensive damage to houses. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flooding is one of the most common hazards in the United States. FEMA also estimates that property damage and loss from fires adds up to $8.6 billion each year. Those affected by either of these disasters must take a long road of restoration and recovery for their homes.

Restorers use chemicals called "counteract ants" to remove smoke smell from textiles. These chemicals are designed to penetrate textile surfaces and release smoke molecules, destroying the odor. These chemicals can be used on furniture and carpets, as well as in laundry.
