How to Get Rid of Smoke Odor in the House

Experiencing fire damage is a traumatic event that leaves more than just visible damage. Lingering smoke Odors can disrupt your comfort and well-being, making professional assistance essential for effective restoration. At PuroClean of South Merced, we understand the challenges homeowners and property managers face after a fire and are here to help.

Whether dealing with the aftermath of a house fire or wildfire smoke, our team offers comprehensive smoke Odor removal services tailored to restore your property and peace of mind.

Factors That Influence Smoke Odor Removal

Removing smoke smells involves more than airing out your property. The time and effort required depend on:

• Type of soot:
  • Dry soot: Easier to clean using mild detergents.
  • Oily soot: Requires professional techniques to prevent surface damage.
• Size of the affected area: Larger spaces demand more extensive treatment.
• Duration since the fire: Acting quickly minimizes damage, as acidic soot can discolour, corrode, or stain materials over time.
• Materials burned: Porous surfaces (e.g., drywall, upholstery) absorb smoke deeply, while metal surfaces risk rusting.

Prompt action can reduce the need for costly repairs. Contact PuroClean of South Merced at (209) 720-4653 to discuss your smoke damage restoration needs.

How to Remove Smoke Odors

Smoke particles penetrate carpets, fabrics, furniture, and even woodwork. To fully eliminate Odors, professional intervention is recommended. Temporary solutions like deodorizers and scented candles only mask the problem, leaving Odors in your home.

Here are some tips for addressing smoke damage:

1. Clean hard surfaces: Use mild detergent and water to wipe down walls, baseboards, doors, and window frames.
2. Address fabrics: Remove items like curtains, rugs, and clothing for professional cleaning. Avoid using home washing machines for soot-damaged fabrics to prevent equipment issues.
3. Neutralize Odors: Baking soda or activated charcoal can help in lightly affected areas.
4. Avoid improper vacuuming: Do not use upright vacuums on soot-covered materials; they can push soot deeper into fibres.
5. Handle wood furniture carefully: Place a protective barrier between smoke-damaged wood and carpets to prevent staining.
6. Remove standing water quickly: Water from firefighting efforts can lead to flooding damage.
