Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Your building can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. If you don't act quickly, smaller kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. 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 quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your AC.
  • To fan out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • 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 hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
