Clean Up Smoke Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your air conditioning so smoke won’t spread.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to fan 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 hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every household 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.
