Can You Clean Puffback Soot Yourself?

After a puffback occurs in your home, smoke and soot can cover virtually every surface. Many homeowners try to clean soot from a puff back, but you shouldn't. In fact, trying to cleanup smoke and soot damage yourself can make the problem worse.

• Scrubbing walls damaged by smoke and soot can embed it further
• Using improper chemicals or cleaning solutions on soot damage can make it harder for professionals to clean it later, increasing time and cost of restoration
• Without the proper materials, equipment, or techniques - Smoke and soot particles will not be taken out of the air, continuing the problem over time
• Homeowners may throw away fabrics or soft materials that could've been salvaged by a professional fire and smoke restoration service
