soot cleaning guide

The biggest mistake when cleaning soot from walls is reaching for a wet cloth first — it drives greasy residue deeper into paint and drywall and makes it permanent. The correct process starts dry: a dry-cleaning chemical sponge or HEPA vacuum to lift loose particles before any wet cleaning begins. This LA guide covers the full two-stage process, product recommendations by surface type, and when soot damage is too extensive for DIY. Call (818) 336-1800.
