• Reducing damage with Soot Clean-up: Hiring a professional restoration company with certified team members is the best way to handle this step.
• Limiting entrance and exit of the area: Once the initial sweep of the area has begun, try to limit in and out happenings of the area as to not track soot into other unaffected areas of the home.
