How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Your house can undergo serious smoke damage without a major fire breaking out. Small-scale flare ups 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 the smell of smoke will soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your HVAC system so smoke won’t spread.
  • To fan out smoke, put large fans by open windows and doors.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could cause stains.
  • Clean hard surfaces.
  • Wipe away soot from ceilings and walls with a dry sponge. Meanwhile, get rid of stains with a vinegar spray.
  • Clean every 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.
