Overhead surfaces carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Soot Cleanup FAQ

Wiping tends to smear fine particulate deeper into porous surfaces.

Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic residue starts pitting metal after that.

Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.

Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell may need a separate treatment step.

Carpets get vacuumed first to prevent smearing during later steps.
