What you can do
2/9/2021 (Permalink)
If possible, it makes sense to hire a professional restoration company that has the expertise and tools needed to do the cleanup correctly. There are a few steps you can take to help:
- Leave items that are covered in soot for the professionals to clean.
- Use dehumidifiers and fans to dry wet textiles as soon as possible. Place easy-to-move items, like clothing or cushions, outdoors in the sun to dry.
- Keep windows open to air the house out until the restoration company can work.
- Run the fan on the HVAC system constantly to move the air around. Replace the filter daily until soot is no longer visible on the filter.
- Cover clean items with plastic to prevent them from getting dirty while repairs are being made.
