What is the main focus of rough cleaning during the drying process?

The main focus of rough cleaning during the drying process is to prepare for the drying process. This step involves removing large debris, excess water, and contaminants that could hinder effective drying. By conducting rough cleaning, technicians create an environment conducive to efficient moisture removal. It is crucial because the presence of dirt, debris, or water can obstruct airflow and reduce the effectiveness of drying equipment, ultimately prolonging the drying time and potentially causing further damage to the structure or contents. Preparing the area properly allows for an organized and methodical approach to drying, ensuring that all materials are set up effectively for optimal moisture management.
