Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Smaller kitchen fires 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 the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
  • To fan out smoke, position large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings using odor counteractants.
