How Can I Clean Up Fire Damage?

Your building can undergo serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

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