You Can Repair Smoke Damage

Your building can receive serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't act quickly. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your AC.
  • To suck out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a rag to 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 every item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
