Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. If you don't start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
- To suck out smoke, position large fans towards open doors and windows.
- When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
- Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
- Clean every 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 carpets and window coverings.
