• By starting out with the ceilings, fixtures, and walls work your way down from top to bottom, to the contents of the room
• Use a vacuum cleaner that has a high efficiency filter to vacuum your floors and upholstery, otherwise you run the risk of blowing soot back into the air.
• Most exterior walls (stone, wood, brick, paint, siding) can be sprayed and cleaned with detergent, by using  a soft-bristled brush, pressure washing, then rinsing top to bottom
• Clothing and machine washable items may be laundered. Mild alkaline cleaners may be used to neutralize acid and soot. Expensive clothes should be dry cleaned
