How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few tips on how to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
  • Move large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a rag to clean hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Deep wash or dry clean any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
