Your building can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can soak 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.
- Move large fans towards open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause stains.
- Wipe down hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every household item that has been affected, such as 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.
