Question

Is it safe to be in our home after a moderate stove top fire? theres soot all over the kitchen and dining room

Answer 1

Try Murphy's Oil Soap if your walls are not stone or brick... actually it might work on those also...

Answer 2

Yeah, but you may not enjoy the smoke smell, which could give you a headache after a while, to be more comfertable I would check to see if you could stay in a friends house or a hotel while you get "professionals" to clean up the smoke mess.

Answer 3

open all the windows and doors. get a vacume cleaner with a brush attachment and vacume ceilings and walls and everything else before attempting to wipe down. I had a kitchen fire last year and as long as there is no smoke it's ok.They have a product called smoke eliminator at home depot to help with the smell. Good luck.

Answer 4

yes get a bucket and start cleaning

Answer 5

yes it is safe.you will just have to clean the walls and all the soot off of everything.i had had a fire once and that is what i had to do it took allot of cleaning but it had to be done good luck.

Answer 6

yes, soot is the same as fireplace charcoal.  It is unburned material.  Greasy but harmless.
