Other Cleaning Tips

• Consult a professional about replacing drywall and insulation that has been soaked by water from fire hoses. It cannot be dried out and maintain structural integrity or resistance to mold and mildew.

• Pots, pans, flatware, etc., should be washed with soapy water, rinsed and then polished.

• Stuff purses and shoes with newspapers to retain shape. Leave suitcases open.

• Wear protective clothing, including work gloves and heavy soled shoes.

• Learn more about how to clean up after a home fire, including the supplies you’ll need, how to deal with contaminated food and water, and how to repair smoke and water damage.

• Follow public health guidance on safe cleanup of fire ash and safe use of masks.

• Wet debris down to minimize breathing dust particles.
