Q: Does a bowl of vinegar absorb smoke?

• <div><p>Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.</p></div>

Q: Can smoke damage be completely removed?

• <div><p>In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smoke-damage-types.htm">types of smoke damage</a> from walls and ceilings, but it&rsquo;s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you&rsquo;ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.</p></div>

Q: Is food cooked in a smoking oven safe to eat?

• <div><p>It depends. For new ovens, it&rsquo;s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won&rsquo;t hurt to eat it. If there&rsquo;s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won&rsquo;t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to remediate smoke damage?

• <div><p>The timeline for smoke damage remediation can range from a single day to several months, depending on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the methods used. For minor damage, such as removing cigarette smoke odors from a single room, the process might take only one to two days and typically involves deep cleaning, painting, and sealing walls. Some methods, like ozone treatments, can take 24 to 48 hours, though multiple treatments may be necessary. More extensive smoke damage, such as from a house fire, can take three weeks or longer to clean and treat. If significant material restoration or replacement is needed, the timeline can extend to six to 12 months. A smoke damage restoration professional can provide a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to burn tree stumps?

• <div><p>Burning a single palm tree stump, if you&rsquo;re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you&rsquo;re burning multiple types of trees. </p><p>Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.</p></div>

Well, but since they couldn't clean from the top of the chimney, only from inside the house, due to the cap being sealed, I don't know for sure if the entire chimney was cleaned.

"Curt called me promptly, made an appointment to do my chimney inspection, and gave me a Fair estimate of the work to be done. He removed the rusted out damper and chimney cap, and replaced them with a stainless steel chimney cap with a built in damper. It works great and it took less time than he estimated. Great work and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Breathe EZ!!"

"Joe inspected my chimney and found the reason why we were experiencing a leak. He sealed the chimney, fully secured the chimney cap (which for some reason had been only partially secured when it was installed 34 years ago) and gave the chimney interior a visual inspection. Overall cost was $95 which I thought was reasonable. Joe was courteous and listened carefully as I explained the problem. He probably could have recommended that I replace the chimney cap, but he said it still had reasonable life left. I thought him to be professional and very honest. Now I know who to call if I have another problem with the chimney. I am pleased to recommend Tidy Sweep to anyone who needs their chimney serviced."
