Cleaning Up Smoke Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don't start cleaning immediately, smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your AC.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
