Carpet and Upholstery Smoke Odor Treatment

If your home or business has been affected by smoke from a fire, you know how devastating the results can be. Smoke damage can cause extensive damage to your carpets and upholstery, leaving behind an unpleasant odor that can be difficult to remove.

Types of Smoke Damage

There are two main types of smoke damage: wet smoke and dry smoke.

• Wet smoke is produced by fires that involve water, such as kitchen fires or fires that occur in bathrooms.
• Dry smoke is produced by fires that do not involve water, such as electrical fires or fires that occur in living rooms.

Both types of smoke can cause damage to your carpets and upholstery, but wet smoke damage is typically more severe.
