warning fire sign Petroleum is being used in most of the furniture that is being produced and put in our homes as of late.

As summer is wrapping up and parents are sending children off to college, you are going to begin moving furniture in and out of apartments, dorms, houses, etc. As you move your children into their new homes, SERVPRO has tips on the best way to do it, so you are least likely for a fire to spread in an unfortunate event.

Petroleum is being used in most of the furniture that is being produced and put in our homes as of late, and an article from the NFPA further demonstrates this. The NFPA states, “Research shows that older, legacy furnishings made of leather, wool, and cotton do not burn in the same manner. Studies by UL have confirmed that rooms filled with synthetic furniture that are set on fire reach dangerous temperatures quicker than similar rooms filled with legacy furnishings.” So, as you and your children are trying to be the best interior designers, we must remember to take safety measures such as checking that smoke detectors and sprinklers are up to date.
