A fire in your home is a stressful event that affects the entire family. There is the damage caused by the fire, often in a kitchen over the stove. The countertops and cupboards may be charred and need to be replaced. Air currents carry smoke residue from the fire to every room in the house.

Avoid Rubbing Surfaces with Deposits of Smoke Residue

Every fire is different in terms of how hot it burns and what is burning. Some fires that burn hot produce little residue, while smoldering fires produce lots of smoke residue. Grease fires produce greasy organic material, while wood fires produce dry material.

Many homeowners attempt to clean up after a fire. This action is a natural tendency. In emergencies, many want to do something constructive, some want to save money, and others are concerned about personal possessions that have much value.

In SERVPRO's experience, homeowners can do more damage by attempting cleaning. Whenever homeowners use the wrong cleaning products to clean up smoke residues, owners can cause the residue to smear and penetrate the material. Greasy residue must be dissolved and wiped away, while dry smoke residue particles can be vacuumed.
