How to Remove Soot from Walls

Soot can be particularly challenging to remove from walls due to its fine particles and oily residue. Here are some steps to effectively remove soot from walls:

Preparation: Wear protective gear such as gloves and a mask. Cover the floor and furniture with drop cloths.
Dry Cleaning Sponge: Use a dry cleaning sponge to gently wipe the soot off the walls. Do not use water at this stage as it can smear the soot.
Cleaning Solution: Mix a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the walls, working from the bottom up to avoid streaking.
Rinse and Dry: Rinse the walls with clean water and dry them with a clean towel.

Best Odor Removal Techniques

Eliminating smoke smell from your house can be a daunting task. Here are some of the best odor removal techniques used by professionals:

Air Scrubbers: These devices use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to remove smoke particles from the air.
Ozone Generators: Ozone generators produce ozone, which neutralizes smoke odors by breaking down odor-causing molecules.
Thermal Fogging: This technique involves using a thermal fogger to disperse a deodorizing fog that penetrates hard-to-reach areas.
Hydroxyl Generators: These generators use UV light to produce hydroxyl radicals, which neutralize odors without leaving harmful residues.
