Fire Damage Can Be Repaired
Your house can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
- Shut off your HVAC system to stop smoke from spreading.
- Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
- When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
- Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
- Clean any household 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 using odor counteractants.
