This avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a cloth.
Porous drywall gets different treatment than glass, tile, or metal.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

The primary method for lifting soot from drywall and painted trim without smearing.
Fine soot pulled from carpet, upholstery, and HVAC returns before any wet cleaning begins.
Tile, glass, and metal respond well to solvent cleaners that would stain something more absorbent.

Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.
Soot pulled into HVAC returns circulates through the whole Berwyn Heights, MD property if left alone.
A technician answers and mobilizes the fastest available crew.
Crews arrive with HEPA vacuums and dry-chemical sponges on board.
Surfaces assessed by type before a written price is quoted.
