As mentioned, it is important to hire professionals for extensive fire damage. However, if you have been lucky enough not to have faced a lot of damage, here are a few IICRC approved health and clean up tips:

• Use a dust mask and gloves at all times
• Put in place a ventilation system to vent out all the odor and dust
• Start your cleaning process from top to bottom. Clean the ceiling, walls and fixtures, things inside rooms and then move on to the floor
• Use a powerful vacuum for floors and upholstery
• Wash clothes and other fabrics, which aren’t burnt or discolored severely, with alkaline cleaner
• Clean the exterior walls with detergent, scrub the soot with a rough brush, apply water through pressure, wash and then rinse.

These tips can be useful for small damage, but if fire has warped or distorted the structure, we advise that you immediately contact one of the damage restoration companies. Make sure your insurance company covers the fire damage restoration services.
