Following a fire in the next door shop around one-third of our house and one workshop is covered in a thick black greasy film of burnt plastics residue. Now that we somewhere to cook, eat, and sleep, and before the arrival of the Insurers clean up team, is there anything usefully preventative I can do for the grinding machines and numerous other tools in the affected workshop? I've assumed that the plastics residue will be chlorinated and will tend to form HCl so have set the (black :-) dehumidifier to work in that workshop.
