Your building can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don't start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
- Put large fans by open doors and windows to fan 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 create stains.
- Wipe down hard surfaces with a rag.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
- Clean any item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
