Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, 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, shut off your HVAC system.
- Move large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
- Use a cloth to clean hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
- Clean every item in your home 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 window coverings and carpets.
