"HEPA vacuuming before the wet cleaning made a visible difference — the carpets came out cleaner than I expected." — Homeowner, Crum Lynne
Wiping smears fine particulate deeper into porous surfaces instead of lifting it out.
Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic soot residue starts pitting metal fixtures after that.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent-based cleaners.
Soot removal reduces odor but a dedicated odor treatment may still be needed for lingering smell.
