Your home can receive serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire. Small-scale fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don't act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:- Turn off your AC so smoke won't spread.
- Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck out the smoke.
- Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create unwanted stains.
- Use a cloth to clean hard surfaces.
- Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
- Clean any item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
- Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
- Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
