Cleaning Up Smoke Damage

Your house can receive serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your air conditioning so smoke won’t spread.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • 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 carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
