Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don't start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- Turn off your air conditioning to stop smoke from spreading.
- To fan out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
- Clean countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean any item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
