How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak 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, turn off your AC.
  • To fan out smoke, put large fans by open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture with a rag.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
