How Can I Clean Up Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and small-scale kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors. 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 AC to stop spreading smoke.
  • Put large fans by open doors and windows to push out the smoke.
  • When vacuuming soot and ash, hold the nozzle right above the soot to suck it up. Pressing down on the soot could cause stains.
  • 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 any household item that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
