You Can Repair Fire Damage

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and significant odors if you don’t act quickly. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here are a few ways to quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your AC so smoke won’t spread.
  • Put large fans by open windows and doors to suck out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create unwanted stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture.
  • Wipe away soot from walls and ceilings with a dry sponge and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every 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 carpets and window coverings. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
