How Can I Repair Fire Damage?
Your house can receive serious soot damage without a major fire. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong 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, shut off your AC.
- To suck out smoke, put large fans by open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
- Use a rag to wipe down countertops and furniture.
- Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean any item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
