Cleaning Up Smoke Damage

Your home can receive serious smoke damage without a major fire. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, 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, shut off your air conditioning.
  • To push out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean every item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
