  • There are a few ways to get rid of smoke damage after a fire. The most important step is to clean the soot and ash off of everything as soon as possible. Soot and ash are oily and will continue to spread the smoke smell if not cleaned off. After cleaning, it's important to deodorize everything. There are a number of products available for this, or you can use a homemade solution of baking soda and vinegar. Finally, it's a good idea to seal any porous surfaces (like wood) with a coat of polyurethane or lacquer.

    There are a few ways to get rid of smoke damage after a fire. One is to clean the soot off with a wet cloth. Another is to vacuum it up. And another is to use a dehumidifier to remove the moisture from the air.
