How Can I Clean Up Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage can occur without a major fire breaking out in your home. If you don’t act quickly, closed fireplace flues and smaller kitchen fires can cause discoloration and strong odors. Unless you address the problem immediately, the smell of smoke can soak into the walls, carpets and furniture. Here’s how you can move fast and cleanup any smoke damage:

  • Shut off your HVAC system to stop spreading smoke.
  • Position large fans towards open doors and windows to fan out the smoke.
  • 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.
  • Use a dry sponge to wipe away soot from walls and ceilings, while using a vinegary spray to wipe away stains.
  • Clean any item in your house that has been affected, such as light bulbs.
  • Dry clean or deep wash any curtains or clothing that were affected.
  • Use odor counteractants to deodorize carpets and window coverings.
