How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your house. If you don’t start cleaning immediately, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and significant odors. 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 HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
  • Move large fans towards open windows and doors to suck out the smokey air.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause unwanted stains.
  • Use a rag to wipe down hard surfaces.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from ceilings and walls. Meanwhile, 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 clothing or curtains that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize window coverings and carpets.
