Airborne soot is acidic enough to start pitting metal fixtures within about 48 hours, which is why Soot Cleanup response speed matters as much as the cleaning method.

Chemical sponges lift soot instead of smearing it further into the surface.
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.

The primary method for lifting soot from drywall and painted trim without smearing.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
Acidic residue on hardware and fixtures neutralized before pitting sets in.
Overhead surfaces carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique.
Cleaned on the same visit, not a separate appointment.
A technician answers and mobilizes the fastest available crew.
Mobile units are equipped for both porous and non-porous surfaces.
You approve the scope before any sponge touches a surface.
Nothing closes out until you've inspected the result.
"We tried wiping the soot down ourselves and just smeared it worse across the wall. Their dabbing technique actually lifted it cleanly." — Homeowner, Herculaneum
"They caught the soot on our kitchen faucet before any real pitting started, which the adjuster said saved us a hardware replacement claim." — Homeowner, Herculaneum, MO
"The HEPA vacuuming before the wet cleaning made a noticeable difference — our carpets came out cleaner than expected." — Homeowner, Herculaneum
Regular cloths spread soot rather than lifting it out.
We prioritize metal fixtures early specifically because of that window.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.
Particulate removal and odor neutralization are related but distinct services.
Carpets get vacuumed first to prevent smearing during later steps.
We keep response times short across Herculaneum because soot corrosion is time-sensitive.
