Everyone knows how destructive fire can be in a house. However, there are many elements of fire, including smoke and soot, that can be just as detrimental.

Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Your building can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to push out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean every item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
