Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires 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 can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
- To fan out smoke, move large fans towards open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create unwanted stains.
- Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean any item in your house 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.
