Protein residue tends to yellow surfaces over time if untreated — we address it before that staining sets.
Sticky residue from burning plastics and synthetics, removed with solvent-based agents plastics don't absorb.
Residue from a smoldering, low-oxygen fire — thicker, smearier, and harder to remove than dry smoke.
Powdery residue from a fast, high-heat fire — easier to remove but spreads into fine cracks and crevices.

"They tested the residue type before doing anything, which made sense once they explained why — apparently using the wrong cleaner can make it worse." — Homeowner, Cambridge, WI
