Home Cleaning
By Kathy Adams
A grease fire results in cleaning issues beyond just the area where the fire originated. As smoke permeates the room, it leaves behind an odor or even a residue on surrounding walls and the ceiling that may go unnoticed until you get close to the affected areas. In some cases the residue and odor can be removed with household substances, but in severe cases, specialty supplies do the trick. Vinegar: Odor Eater
Regular white vinegar removes odors and cleans the ceiling and walls a bit in the process. Dip a sponge or cloth into a bowl of vinegar, wringing out most of the liquid; then wipe down the entire surface of each wall and ceiling in the room. Open the windows or turn on a ceiling fan to hasten the drying process, if desired. If the odor persists, give the room a second vinegar wipe-down treatment. Heavy-Duty Cleaner
Smoke residue clings to walls and ceilings after a grease fire, meaning every inch of those surfaces requires cleaning.
