How Can I Clean Up Fire Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups 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 can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to fan out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
