Understanding Smoke Damage & Soot Removal
Smoke damage goes beyond visible stains; it can penetrate surfaces and leave behind odors and harmful particles. If you’re dealing with a kitchen fire aftermath, candle soot, or the need for cigarette smoke cleaning services, the importance of professional smoke cleaning and soot restoration cannot be overstated.
Smoke abatement removes the smell of smoke, while professional cigarette smoke removal services address thirdhand smoke and the smoke-stained ceiling or walls that can linger long after a fire or smoke event. At HomeLyft Restoration, we use specialized smoke odor removal techniques to leave your home fresh and clean in the long run.

DIY Tips and Preventative Measures for Smoke Damage & Soot Removal
While professional smoke and soot removal is essential for extensive damage, here are some DIY tips for minor cases:
- Clean Surfaces with Trisodium Phosphate (TSP): TSP is highly effective at breaking down smoke stains on walls and soot on ceilings. Always wear gloves and follow instructions for safe use.
- Use Vinegar and Baking Soda for Odor Removal: Place bowls of vinegar or baking soda in affected rooms to absorb lingering smoke odors over time.
- Install Air Purifiers with HEPA Filters: Regular use of HEPA air purifiers helps capture smoke particles to reduce lingering smells.
