Cleaning Up Fire Damage

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

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your air conditioning.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down 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 in your house that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
