Your home can receive serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups 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 ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- Shut off your HVAC system so smoke won't spread.
- Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
- When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
- Wipe down hard surfaces.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
