How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke Damage Can Be Cleaned Up

Your house can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire. If you don't start cleaning immediately, smaller kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
