Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Your home can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your HVAC system.
  • To fan out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
