Your building can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- Shut off your air conditioning to stop spreading smoke.
- To fan out smokey air, put large fans by open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
