Fires can be an extremely difficult ordeal to cope with. It is a very frightening experience, and can leave behind a lot of mental and emotional pain. Cleaning up a fire can possess many health risks, which is why, you should always enlist the help of a professional fire damage restoration company. Once you’ve chosen a reliable company, you can begin the cleanup process, while taking extra precautions. Here is a simple step-by-step process on how you can restore your home after a fire:
- Scrub all exposed exterior surfaces with a strong disinfectant in order to remove soot and kill harmful bacteria. You should wear safety clothes, including a mask and gloves, before scrubbing any areas that have been damaged by the fire. You need to disinfect all porches, patios, walls, walkways and windows, including both glass and screens.
- Make sure you thoroughly cleanse and disinfect all interior surfaces. This includes walls, floors, cabinets, tables, chairs and closets.
- Clean all furniture, taking care not to further damage materials like upholstery, leather or velvet.
- If the damage is not severe, you can attempt to remove odors from fabrics like drapes and furniture upholstery with an odor-neutralizing spray.
- Carpets and mattresses should be similarly deodorized, as well as steam cleaned when necessary. If either of them appears to have too much fire damage, simply discard them.
- Carefully wash or dust all small household items to remove soot.
- Air conditioners and heating or ventilation ducts must be cleaned by a professional in order to remove all ash, soot and potentially harmful residue. If left ignored or treated improperly, this could lead to serious respiratory problems for you or your family.
