Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop spreading smoke, turn off your air conditioning.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to fan 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 create stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every household item that has been affected, including light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
