It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- Turn off your air conditioning to stop spreading smoke.
- To fan out smokey air, put large fans by open windows and doors.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
