How Can I Repair Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. Closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen flare ups can cause discoloration and strong odors if you don't start cleaning immediately. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can seep into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here's how you can quickly cleanup any smoke damage:
  • To stop smoke from spreading, turn off your AC.
  • To suck out smokey air, put large fans by open doors and windows.
  • Vacuum up ash and soot by holding the nozzle right above the soot. Pressing down could create stains.
  • Use a cloth to clean 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.
  • Deodorize window coverings and carpets. We suggest that you use odor counteractants.
