Cleaning Up Smoke Damage
Your building can undergo serious soot damage without a major fire breaking out. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
- To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your HVAC system.
- Put large fans by open windows and doors to push out the smokey air.
- When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
- Clean hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean any item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
