Consequences of Soot and Smoke Damage
Your Smoke Damage and Soot Action Plan
It’s critical to have knowledgeable technicians equipped with gloves, protective clothing, and a gas mask to remove smoke and soot from your home. However, any property owner can help start the restoration process by taking these actions:
- Clean your carpet twice (before and after restoration)
- Set up as many fans as possible
- Dispose of foods that aren’t in airtight containers
- Clean appliances with a good disinfectant
- Prepare to replace all air filters (including the air conditioner)
What Kind of Smoke?
There are multiple types of smoke and soot that a fire produces, and they all impact your property in different ways. These types of smoke and soot include:
Wet Smoke
Wet smoke is the most challenging type of smoke damage to remove. It’s gummy, sticky, and smears easily. It’s caused by a slow-burning, low heat fire and has a strong, lingering odor.
Fuel Oil Soot
This type of smoke damage is caused by furnace puff backs.
Protein Smoke
Protein smoke has a pungent odor and usually discolors paint and varnished structures.
Other Types
Other types of smoke that tend to linger are fingerprint powder, tear gas, and fire extinguisher residue.

When a fire happens in your home or workspace, it’s critical to return the space to a clean and safe environment. Soot and smoke linger long after a fire is put out and embed toxic chemicals in furniture, walls, and carpeting. Contact ProKleen today to start restoring your space from the aftermath of a fire.
