You Can Repair Smoke Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your HVAC system.
  • To fan out smokey air, put large fans by open windows and doors.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a rag to clean countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any household 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.
