You Can Repair Smoke Damage

Your house can receive serious soot damage without a major fire. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will seep 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.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
