The in’s and out’s on smoke
- Fire extinguishers create their own chemical residues that require professional handling
- Fuel oil soot can be released from furnace combustion and should be cleaned to prevent respiratory problems
- Dry smoke results from high temperature, fast burning fires. Dry smokes generally leave a powdery, dusty residue.
- Wet smoke results from long burning lower temperature fires. Wet smoke causes smearing, web-like damage and are much more difficult to clean. Most cooking fires cause this type of damage.
- Protein residues can leave awful odors and discolor appliances, paints and lacquers that require professional cleaning to eliminate.
Interesting Facts about Smoke
