Your building can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your AC.
- Put large fans by open doors and windows to push out the smokey air.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
- Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
