Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. If you don’t act quickly, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong 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 smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using 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 clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings using odor counteractants.
