How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Shut off your air conditioning so smoke won't spread.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to fan out the smokey air.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
