Cleaning Up Fire Damage

Your building can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
  • To suck out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create stains.
  • Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item in your home 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.
