This avoids the streaking that comes from wiping soot with a cloth.
Porous drywall gets different treatment than glass, tile, or metal.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Fine particulate captured rather than recirculated into your Clifton, CO property's air.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
We prioritize metal surfaces early because the corrosion clock starts immediately.
Ceilings get cleaned first so falling residue doesn't recontaminate clean walls.

"We tried wiping the soot down ourselves and just smeared it worse across the wall. Their dabbing technique actually lifted it cleanly." — Homeowner, Clifton
"They caught the soot on our kitchen faucet before any real pitting started, which the adjuster said saved us a hardware replacement claim." — Homeowner, Clifton, CO
"I didn't expect the vacuum step to matter, but the carpets ended up much cleaner than our attempt." — Homeowner, Clifton

Ideally within 48 hours, since acidic residue starts pitting metal after that.
Surface type determines whether we use dry sponges or solvent cleaners.
Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell may need a separate treatment step.
Yes, HEPA extraction handles soft surfaces before any wet cleaning starts.
We keep response times short across Clifton because soot corrosion is time-sensitive.
