Our technique avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a rag.
We match the cleaning method to the material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
HEPA vacuums capture fine particulate instead of recirculating it into the air.
Sponges get replaced frequently during a job since a soot-saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
This step happens before any wet cleaning, since vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing when surfaces get wet.
Non-porous surfaces respond well to solvent cleaners that would stain something more absorbent.
Acidic soot residue on hardware, faucets, and electronics gets neutralized before pitting sets in.
Ceilings get cleaned before walls, since falling particulate would otherwise recontaminate freshly cleaned wall surfaces.
Soot pulled into return vents circulates through the whole Bothell, WA property if left untreated.

"HEPA vacuuming before the wet cleaning made a visible difference — the carpets came out cleaner than I expected." — Homeowner, Bothell
Regular cloths tend to spread soot rather than remove it.
We prioritize metal surfaces early specifically because of that corrosion window.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent-based cleaners.
Cleaning the particulate and neutralizing the odor are related but separate steps.
Yes, HEPA vacuum extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning begins.
Usually within the hour, with Bothell crews staged locally.
We keep response times short across Bothell specifically because soot corrosion is a time-sensitive problem.
