Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Your house can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don't start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to push out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
