How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your building. If you don't act quickly, smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors. It's best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:
  • Turn off your air conditioning so smoke won't spread.
  • To suck out smokey air, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could cause stains.
  • Wipe down hard surfaces with a rag.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls, while using a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean any item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
