Fire Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your air conditioning.
  • To fan out smoke, put large fans by open windows and doors.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
