Your home can receive serious smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- To stop spreading smoke, turn off your AC.
- Put large fans by open windows and doors to push out the smoke.
- When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
- Use a rag to wipe down countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
