Smoke Damage Can Be Repaired

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Turn off your air conditioning so smoke won’t spread.
  • Position large fans towards open windows and doors to push out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean every household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
