How Can I Clean Up Smoke Damage?

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

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your HVAC system.
  • To suck out smokey air, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture with a cloth.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
