Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Your house can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your air conditioning so smoke won’t spread.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls and use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
