Oh, that's awful. I've had to deal with wildfire odors. It can be tough. I wash my linens, curtains, towels and anything else that will go into the machine in vinegar. Last time I even had to wash out my cupboards and dishes. Good luck with your clean up. :0)

thank you - gave me a laugh

NO They only send the hunky firemen when you are at your worst :) I should know! I am glad you and your furbabies are ok!

Wet some towels with water and wave them around inside the house it will help to remove the smoke. Febreeze should help with the smell. Glad the animals are okay.

ROFLMAO !!! Everytime:)


Glad no one was hurt !!! Installers should be able to help w/the cleanup!! Good Luck

Glad the pets were okay!

Here is my hunky fireman......

thats what i was thinking

We had a pretty good housefire a few years ago...BIG TIP Put bowls of baking soda everywhere...in closets, storage, all rooms etc. It'll take the smoke smell right out in 24 hours

Take it from someone that DID have a fire in her house (me), the smoke is the enemy for you right now! If your furnace could have run during that time, they need to PAY to have someone clean out your ducts and furnace. I ended up taking the cupboard doors off to paint and discovered there was soot behind the hinges. I had a grandfather clock -- found out they had to take that in and have the insides cleaned out -- soot is acidic! Oh -- the smoke smell. If they don't put fans in to get it out of your house, then put bowls of white vinegar in your rooms...keep it fresh --- for about a month. When I sold my house, no one could tell I'd had a fire!!!
