You Can Repair Smoke Damage

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

  • Shut off your HVAC system to stop smoke from spreading.
  • Position large fans towards 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.
  • Use a cloth to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
