Wiping soot with a regular cloth almost always smears fine particulate deeper into the surface — our Seminole, FL technicians use a dabbing technique with chemical sponges specifically to avoid that.

Chemical sponges lift soot particulate instead of smearing it into the surface.
We match the cleaning method to the material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
HEPA vacuums capture fine particulate instead of recirculating it into the air.
Sponges get replaced frequently during a job since a soot-saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
This step happens before any wet cleaning, since vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing when surfaces get wet.
Tile, glass, and metal get a different chemical treatment than porous drywall and wood.
We prioritize metal fixtures early in the job since the corrosion clock starts immediately.
Overhead surfaces often carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique to avoid streaking.
Soot pulled into return vents circulates through the whole Seminole, FL property if left untreated.
