Everyone knows how damaging fire can be in a home. However, there are many elements of fire, such as smoke and soot, that are just as destructive.

Smoke Damage Can Be Repaired

Your house can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
  • Position large fans towards open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
  • 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.
  • Clean hard surfaces with a rag.
  • 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 curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings using odor counteractants.
