Ways to Clean Up Smoke Damage

Your building can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a cloth to wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, 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.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
