Smoke Damage Can Be Repaired

Your building can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. 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 can 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 smoke, move 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.
  • 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 home 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.
