Your house can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- Turn off your HVAC system so smoke won't spread.
- Position large fans towards open windows and doors to fan out the smoke.
- When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
- Clean hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every item in your home 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.
