Smoke

If you have smoke damage, call a professional.

The longer smoke odor sits untreated, the harder it is to alleviate.  Call Johnny on the Spot right away  208-344-2265.

Here are some tips to dealing with smoke damage immediately after a fire:

• Once the fire’s out or the flue is open, ventilate the house as quickly as possible to mitigate smoke damage.
• Throw open doors and windows.
• Turn off HVAC systems to avoid further spreading smoke.
• Rent a few industrial fans and angle them towards the windows and doors. This will help suck smokey air from the home.
• Throw away heavily damaged or heavily smoked items, and start cleaning the house top to bottom.
• Wipe down all hard surfaces—countertops, appliances, and furniture—with a cleaning cloth.
• Wash or clean all household items, even light bulbs. Remove bulbs to wash and dry thoroughly, then reinstall.
• Wash or dry-clean all clothing and drapes.
• Throw away all food that was not sealed in airtight containers.
• Replace all HVAC filters.
