How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don’t act quickly, smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

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