It is a bad idea to attempt to remove the fiberglass released by an Ashley or Nectar mattress from your home on your own, as you will most likely end up contaminating your house to a greater extent. Instead, you should hire a team of professionals that specializes in fiberglass removal.
So far,?some Ashley and Nectar mattresses have been found to contain fiberglass as a flame retardant. When people remove the outer cover of one of these mattresses for washing, which have a zipper that signals to the user that this is alright to do, fiberglass is immediately released into the room, thereby contaminating the house.
In the meantime, after they file a claim with Ashley or Nectar, people whose homes were contaminated with glass fibers may wonder how they can remove it. Because fibers of glass are extremely small and have rough edges, they can easily become embedded in fabrics, such as those covering furniture like couches, armchairs, and carpets. For this reason, it is not advisable that you take to the task yourself.
Instead, you will need to hire a certified team of professionals to take care of the damage caused by your defective mattress. While this may cost you a considerable sum of money, it is definitely worth it, as exposure to fiberglass can cause severe irritation of the skin and eyes. Furthermore, if you continue living in a home contaminated with fibers of glass, you will unavoidably inhale some of them, which may lead to serious health problems such as lung damage. Similarly, if you ingest fiberglass, this may cause stomach irritation.
Regardless of the route of exposure, having pieces of glass in your body is certainly not good. Not only does a team of professionals have the necessary equipment to remove the fibers of glass from your home, but it also has the necessary training in this respect. While they are taking care of the damage, you should find a temporary place to stay, as the process can take up to several days to complete.
How much will it cost me to have fiberglass removed from my home?
The cost of fiberglass removal varies greatly depending on your state of residence, the size of your house, the experience of the team, and the extent of the damage. However, it usually ranges between $2,000 and $10,000. When choosing the company whose team you want to hire to remove the fibers of glass from your home, you should pay close attention to their experience and should not agree to work with beginners, as removing fiberglass is a very tedious and challenging process that only experienced professionals can properly carry out.
Before hiring the company, you should search their website and find out when it was founded and the price they request for the cleanup of fiberglass. If the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Therefore, you should proceed with caution and do your research before deciding who to hire for this demanding task. It is not a good idea to attempt removing the fiberglass on your own, as you can easily end up further contaminating your home.
