Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Smaller kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop spreading smoke, shut off your AC.
- To fan out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
- Wipe down countertops and furniture with a cloth.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean any item in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
