Your house can receive serious soot damage without a major fire. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- Turn off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
- Position large fans towards open doors and windows to push out the smoke.
- 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 with a cloth.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
