Your house can undergo serious smoke damage without a major fire. If you don't start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop spreading smoke, turn off your air conditioning.
- Position large fans towards open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
- When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
- Wipe down countertops and furniture with a cloth.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean any item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
