How Can I Clean Up Smoke Damage?

Your house can undergo serious soot or smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. Closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t act quickly. Unless you address the problem immediately, smoke will seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • To stop spreading smoke, shut off your HVAC system.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to push out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up soot and ash by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
  • Clean countertops and furniture.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls and use a vinegary spray to get rid of stains.
  • Clean every item in your home that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Deodorize carpets and window coverings using odor counteractants.
