Ways to Clean Smoke Damage

9/9/2021 (Permalink)

* Using a large sponge, proceed with cleaning affected areas using the TSP solution. Do this in sections and repeat areas as necessary.

 * Avoid getting too much water on walls. You might end up with water damage to your drywall.

 Avoid getting water run down between baseboard and the inner wall, as this could be a source of mold infestation.

 * When using TSP on painted walls, check first for dulling. Use an alternative cleaner if this occurs.

 Some painted surfaces may not be completely cleaned of smoke and soot residues. These surfaces need to be refinished by applying primer and paint.

 * If you find TSP too harsh, there are available cleaners, which you can use. Other alternative homemade cleaners, which can be used to clean smoke residues, include a water-vinegar mixture.
