Cleaning Up Smoke Damage

Your home can receive serious smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your air conditioning.
  • To push out smokey air, move large fans towards open windows and doors.
  • 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 cloth to clean hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
