Questions

Answers before you call

Why can't I just wipe the soot off?

Soot is oily and acidic; wiping it smears it into surfaces and pushes it deeper. The right method depends on the surface, and speed matters.

How fast do I need to act on soot?

Within days. Soot etches and corrodes surfaces the longer it sits, so early cleaning saves more of your property.
