Cleaning Up Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your AC.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to push out the smokey air.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Clean hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
