How Can I Repair Fire Damage?

Your house can receive serious smoke or soot damage without a major fire. Smaller kitchen fires and closed fireplace flues can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don’t start cleaning immediately. It’s best that you address the problem immediately. Otherwise smoke odor can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your air conditioning to stop smoke from spreading.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to suck out the smokey air.
  • When vacuuming ash and soot, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing your vacuum down on the soot could create stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean any item in your home 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 carpets and window coverings.
