Fire Damage Can Be Repaired

Your home can receive serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don’t act quickly, small-scale kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your AC.
  • To push out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets using odor counteractants.
