After the Damage: Vandalism Do’s and Do Not’s
Posted in: Tips by Admin on March 30, 2011
- Vandalism is upsetting even when the motivation is not malicious. While timely action can minimize or prevent lasting damage, it is just as true that wrong or delayed action can increase it; sometimes beyond hope of repair. Emergency Tips listed below will minimize the effects of the damage, and make the eventual repair more successful.
Do…
- Hose down or wash egg damage from building exterior as soon as possible
- Wipe up freshly spilled food from carpets and fabrics with a dampened cloth or sponge (but don’t over-wet). Do scrape and blot (don’t rub; it may cause fuzzing or damage fibers).
- Vacuum glass particles from carpets and upholstery.
- Save containers, which will reveal the composition of spilled inks, cosmetics and paints.
Do Not…
- Attempt to remove ink, paint or cosmetic stains.
- Operate damaged lamps or appliances.
- Throw our wood chips, broken pieces from furniture, porcelain or other art objects.
