Hi, for the sake of helping others with restoring their flooded homes, do you know how to restore wet furniture? Especially wooden?
Do you have insurance? If not Hire a dehumidifier to dry out your home and contents. When dry, Rub down and re-finish..........
If it is dry enough, put furniture out on the driveway, patio, whatever to dry after rinsing and cleaning it real well with fresh water to remove any chance of salt water being in the water it was in. You can then take care of any refinishing or other care it needs.
Fans, dehumidifiers is what it takes - be careful putting things in the sun due to inconsistent drying which can result in warping
Fans in the garage is the quickest way to dry out, but first wipe down with a disinfectant like Lysol to kill any bacteria.
