Signs you need professional soot removal

Soot is acidic and abrasive, and wiping it yourself usually smears it deeper. These are signs to call instead.

  • Corroding metal and cloudy glass

    Tarnishing fixtures and hazy glass are the acid in soot etching hard surfaces the longer it sits.

  • A lingering burnt smell

    An ongoing acrid odor usually means soot and smoke residue are still present in the materials.

  • Soot inside cabinets and drawers

    Fine soot that worked its way into enclosed spaces shows how far the particles carried and how thorough cleanup must be.

  • Smears when you try to wipe it

    Soot that streaks and spreads when you wipe it needs the right cleaning method, not household cloths and sprays.

  • Black, greasy film on surfaces

    A slick soot film on walls, counters, and horizontal surfaces keeps corroding finishes until it is properly removed.
