How Can I Clean Up Fire Damage?

Your home can receive serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your AC.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
