Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
- Put large fans by open windows and doors to fan out the smoke.
- Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause stains.
- Wipe down countertops and furniture.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean every item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
- Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
