How Can I Clean Up Fire Damage?

Your home can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every 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 carpets and window coverings.
