Recently, LA-based Blue Moon Cleaning was contacted by a guitar-maker after suffering a sizeable warehouse fire. The fire started afterhours with a battery stored inside their production plant. Fortunately, someone saw the smoke outside and called the LA Fire Department. Fire crews arrived quickly and went to work breaking locks, saw cutting iron gates, and making their way toward the fire. Once inside, fire crews punched large holes into the ceiling to relieve smoke and pressure from the building. Everything was doused with water and chemical fire suppressant - guitar parts, tools, everything. The guitar factory was rendered completely untenable, and guitar-making came to a screeching halt. Thanks to the quick work of the LAFD, the building's structure was saved. But the contents were soaked and covered with ash and soot. The fire caused a major business disruption as company resources had to be diverted away from guitar-making and towards clean-up, repair, and restoration. Soot and ash are very toxic and corrosive. Prolonged contact with wood, metal, or plastics can cause irreversible damage. So, it was critical that the guitar-maker act quickly to safeguard its employees and contents by ensuring cleanup and repairs were done expeditiously and done right. Blue Moon Cleaning was hired to handle the cleanup and restoration. The LA-based cleaning company is IICRC-certified in restoring properties damaged by fire and smoke. So Blue Moon knew exactly what to do. The company dispatched experienced technicians who went to work removing ash and soot from inside the structure. Walls, ceilings, and trusses were scrubbed with neutralizing agents. Floors were steam cleaned, and the air inside the plant was treated using specialized air scrubbers and odor removers. After cleanup, Blue Moon replaced missing ceiling and hauled away dangerous debris. Blue Moon restored this client's ability to focus on doing what they do best: making music through amazing guitars. The next time you experience water or fire damage, or simply need a cleanup, call Blue Moon Cleaning to get your show back on the road. 818-968-6423 bluemooncleaning.com

WeCutFoam collaborated yet again with E2K, an event entertainment organizer to fabricate the San Francisco 49ers SF logo, this year at 12ft wide by 8ft tall. The sign was delivered, assembled and displayed at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara to serve as a backdrop decor for their upcoming football season games This great collaboration started back in 2014 when we fabricated Levi's Stadium letters for their grand opening, coated them in Polyurea hard coating so they will last for years and painted them. Throughout the years since then, we created multiple letters and signs for them, including Wall Street Journal WSJ signs in various sizes and techniques, from 2ft to 5ft tall for annual events as well as the "be invincible" sign for Women Conference in Moscone Center in San Francisco. At WeCutFoam, we join forces with many event planners, production companies, music festivals organizers and other production companies to assist them in creating signs, letters, props, decor, exhibits and art work for any event they may need assistance with. Having our in-house manufactured CNC hot wire foam cutters and CNC routers, as well as our exports and artists teams, we are able to produce mesmerizing elements to enhance any event and occasion.

Blue Moon Cleaning is sending a HUGE shoutout to this year's COLA award finalists. The LA-based cleaning company appreciates the hard work and fortitude of Location Managers. The filming industry would be nothing without these invaluable people. Location Managers ensure timely delivery and execution of all things needed for a successful film shoot - plans, sites, equipment, goods, and services. From scouting to prep, filming to strike, Location Managers are the glue that holds it all together. Some of their many duties include securing sites, parking, noise reduction, power sourcing, catering, cleanup, and a whole lot more. Additionally, producers and directors can relax knowing that a Location Manager has secured any necessary official permits, licenses, or other local requirements. This job is not for someone with a low threshold for stress. Any recognition these guys and gals receive is simply not enough. That's why Blue Moon Cleaning is taking their hats off to the 2024 COLA award finalists which include the following dedicated professionals: BLUE MOON CLEANING (818) 968-6423 bluemooncleaning.com
