Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Your house can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Shut off your air conditioning to stop smoke from spreading.
  • Move large fans towards open windows and doors to fan 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 countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
