Smoke Damage Can Be Repaired

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, small-scale kitchen flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
  • To fan out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • 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.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces with a cloth.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
