After the Fire: Ridding Your Home of Odors

No matter the scale of damage after a house fire, the experience can be traumatizing and at the very least, stressful! But don’t worry; The Steam Team has your back. There’s no fire or smoke damage that we can’t handle! And when it comes to smoke damage, we know exactly how to bring back that fresh scent you’ve been missing! Below are three tips to rid your home of smoke odor after a house fire.

Properly Ventilate the Area

After a fire, your home needs a ton of fresh air! It’s highly important that you properly ventilate the affected area. How do you do this? By opening all doors and windows (keep pets from escaping by using baby gates at the entrances to your home), and place box fans all around the area. Set them to high! This will help push contaminated air out of your home.

Do Some Deep Cleaning

Unfortunately, the only way to permanently remove smoke odor is to properly clean everything. This means gathering up linens to be washed and/or dry cleaned (couch covers, blankets and sheets, clothing, etc). It also means washing your drapes, walls, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces in your home. If the task is too heavy, call in a professional cleaning company!

Is that true? It absolutely is! Through steam cleaning, The Steam Team can clean your home top-to-bottom without using any chemicals.

What is Steam Cleaning?

Steam cleaning, or hot water extraction, is a method of cleaning that we’re always pushing you to accept! It’s a method that cleans, disinfects, and even sterilizes surfaces, flooring, draperies, furniture, and more. It cleans without the use of chemicals, and it cleans thoroughly. There’s no clean like the clean that steam cleaning provides!

How Does Steam Cleaning Work?

Steam cleaning’s primary source is heat. It cleans using nothing but heat and water, and of course, high water pressure. It cleans quickly, and dries quickly, too!
