Cleaning Up Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Shut off your air conditioning so smoke won't spread.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Wipe down countertops and furniture with a cloth.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and use 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 curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
