Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- Shut off your air conditioning to stop spreading smoke.
- To suck out smokey air, put large fans by open windows and doors.
- When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
- Wipe down hard surfaces.
- Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
- Clean any item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
