This avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a cloth.
We match method to material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.
Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.
Cleaned on the same visit, not a separate appointment.

Regular cloths spread soot rather than lifting it out.
Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic residue starts pitting metal after that.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.
Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell may need a separate treatment step.
Yes, HEPA extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning starts.
Our Soot Cleanup crews cover Lakehills and the surrounding zip codes, with HEPA equipment staged locally for fast response.
