Fire Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your HVAC system.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to fan out the smokey air.
  • 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.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item in your house 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. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
