Repairing Smoke Damage

Your building can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your air conditioning so smoke won’t spread.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
