How Can I Clean Up Smoke Damage?

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

  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your air conditioning.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to push out the smoke.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot- pressing down could cause stains.
  • Use a cloth to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls and get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any 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 carpets and window coverings.
