Hi,
We got home yesterday afternoon to find our house cordoned off - our next door neighbours had an electrical fire which looks quite serious (no one hurt, in the house when it started).
We're on a terrace and the fire was in the rooms right next to ours, so although we don't have any fire damage the nursery as full of smoke (luckily ds is 10 weeks and still in with us) and rest of the house smells to varying degrees of plasticy smoke.
We're in the process of selling and will be moving in a few weeks, plus with a small baby i want to tackle this as quickly as possible. I'd really appreciate any advice on what works and how to tackle this. I cleared out our least affected bedroom and the fireman said it was safe but I think the smoke smell upset ds as he was unsettled all night, dreading a day of cleaning ahead!
I've got a steam cleaner so at the moment thinking I'll just do loads and loads of washing to run through everything I can, then steam the carpets and curtains, maybe wipe down all the furniture. We've got bloody farrow and ball paint everywhere which marks easily...any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
