Repairing Smoke Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Smaller kitchen flare-ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise, the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your AC.
  • Position large fans towards open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
