How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?
Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Small-scale flare ups and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
- Turn off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
- To fan out smoke, position large fans towards open doors and windows.
- Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could create stains.
- Use a rag to clean hard surfaces.
- Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
- Clean every household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Deep wash or dry clean any curtains or clothing that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
