diy soot removal

Soot removal from walls requires lifting dry particles before any liquid touches the surface — using a wet rag first drives soot into paint and drywall and makes staining permanent. The correct process starts with a dry-cleaning chemical sponge or HEPA vacuum, then moves to a pH-balanced wet wash. This LA guide covers the complete two-stage soot removal process for each wall surface type, the right products, how to handle heavy coverage, and when professional fire restoration is needed.
