Why Smoke and Soot Must Be Removed Properly
Soot is ultra-fine particulate and smoke residues can embed into porous materials. Improper wiping or “DIY cleaning” can spread residue and make staining worse. Professional remediation focuses on:
- Controlling particulate spread
- Removing residues from impacted surfaces
- Using appropriate methods for the type of soot and material
- Supporting indoor air quality with filtration when needed
