How long does the smoke smell last?
Without treatment, smoke odor can linger for months and come back on warm, humid days. With professional treatment most homes smell clean again within days to a few weeks, depending on how much burned and what the smoke reached.
Is the smoke smell harmful?
Smoke residue can carry fine particles and chemicals from burned plastics and furniture. People with asthma, children, older adults and pets are more sensitive. Ventilate, wear a well-fitting mask while handling residue, and let professionals clean heavily affected areas.
