How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Your house can receive serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Smaller kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your air conditioning.
  • Position large fans towards open windows and doors to suck 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. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean every item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
