Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your air conditioning.
  • To suck out smokey air, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, 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 clean hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings using odor counteractants.
