You Can Cleaning Up Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don't act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, shut off your air conditioning.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture with a rag.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
