This avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a cloth.
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.
Fine soot pulled from carpet, upholstery, and HVAC returns before any wet cleaning begins.
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.
Soot pulled into HVAC returns circulates through the whole Sergeant Bluff, IA property if left alone.

Nothing closes out until you've inspected the result.
"Our own attempt made the streaks worse — the sponge technique they used actually worked." — Homeowner, Sergeant Bluff
"They caught the soot on our kitchen faucet before any real pitting started, which the adjuster said saved us a hardware replacement claim." — Homeowner, Sergeant Bluff, IA
"I didn't expect the vacuum step to matter, but the carpets ended up much cleaner than our attempt." — Homeowner, Sergeant Bluff
Regular cloths spread soot rather than lifting it out.
Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic residue starts pitting metal after that.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.
Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell may need a separate treatment step.
Yes, HEPA extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning starts.
We keep response times short across Sergeant Bluff because soot corrosion is time-sensitive.
