Why does the smell of smoke linger?

A fire produces black smoke as it burns, which can discolour surfaces. This is because even when you wash away the soot stains, the particles still contaminate various materials in your home.

The removal of soot particles is a difficult task since they seep deeply into furniture and fabrics. Smoke on porous materials like curtains, carpets, and upholstery is often the most difficult to remove.

Attempting to clean the smoke odour yourself might exacerbate the spread of soot particles while only briefly masking the smell. Instead, you should obtain temporary housing whilst a professional cleaning company tackles the issue.

What is soot, and how does it impact you?

A surface heated by an open flame will leave behind a black residue. For instance, if you burn a candle in a glass jar, soot accumulates inside and leaves black stains. Carbon is emitted into the air when coal, oil, wood, or other fuels are burnt. This carbon then settles onto surfaces and becomes soot.

Although soot may be visible on some surfaces, soot particles are smaller than dust and hence invisible to the naked eye. These particles cling to surfaces and penetrate porous materials deeply.

Toxins, chemicals, and acids in soot can damage your home's structure and harm your health. Following a fire, you risk developing these ailments if you keep inhaling the air:

• Headaches
• Nausea
• Eye and skin irritation
• Breathing issues
• Respiratory damage

Protecting yourself in your smoke-damaged home

You must take precautions to shield yourself from the effects of soot when disposing of or removing burned objects from your house. Even brief exposure can have unpleasant side effects; therefore, you must put your safety first by taking the following precautions:

• Wearing long sleeves, long trousers, boots, and gloves
• Using a mask or other respiratory protection
• If you encounter any soot, wash your skin with warm, soapy water.
• Ventilate the home by leaving the windows and doors open with fans on around the home
