What To Do After A Fire

Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets
Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls, and woodwork
Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery, and carpet traffic areas
If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open
Clean and protect chrome with a light coating of petroleum jelly or oil
Wash houseplants on both sides of leaves
Change the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning filter
Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers

Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us
Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat, or water without consulting an authorized repair service
Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat, or water
Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet and the wiring may be damaged
Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner as improper cleaning may set the smoke odor
