how to clean smoke damaged walls in your home

Before you start cleaning the smoke & soot from the wall, it becomes necessary to wear gloves, mask, goggles, and proper protective clothing. Only after wearing the right protective gear, you should begin the task of cleaning smoke.

On a soft cloth use a gentle cleaner and wipe down the wall. This will remove the excessive dirt and prepare the wall for serious cleaning. Then wipe the wall using a dry cloth and let it dry. Buy a good quality cleaning solution.

Carefully go through the instructions written on the bottle and mix it with right amount of warm water. Using the scrubby sponge, start cleaning the wall (it is recommended to go over small sections at a time). Don’t wipe the wall harshly, there are chances of wall paint ripping off.

One you have cleaned a particular section it is advised to use a clean rag and clean water over it. Avoid staying of cleanser on the wall for too long. This can lead to discoloration of walls.

At times soot damage is extensive that we cannot treat it all by ourselves. Therefore, it is advice to take the help of smoke restoration company. They have the equipment that assists in removing the soot from the wall quickly. For more information contact fire damage repair company now.

On the other end, mounts another enormous continent that was wrecked due to its noticeable crater. This must be the sentiments you don’t want to hear from your family as they visualize the damage that water has done to your lovely house. Water damage los angeles
