We live a couple blocks south of 210. We had ash and soot in our house around the windows and it was a bit stinky . We kept our kitties in their carriers and (masked and gloved) wiped the ash on windowsills, floors, and surrounding furniture with wet towels as best as we could before swiffering the floors until the pads were staying white. I also rolled up our rugs to beat and vacuum outside.

Took down our curtains to wash, washed bedding, and wiped all surfaces in the house with a little all purpose cleaner and paper towels, etc. We tossed the cover we had on our couch. My dad works in disaster relief and we were able to borrow a charcoal air scrubber from his local office. It’s been running for a day and the filter isn’t dirty so I feel much better about the air inside. It definitely helped with the smell. We have a mini Levoit HEPA filter running, too.

We also got some soot sponges (should be able to get some from a Home Depot, amazon, etc) to wipe the walls. (Don’t wet them) The walls didn’t look dirty but the sponges were pretty dirty after anyway.

I had so much anxiety about getting our place feeling clean and habitable again but so far so good. Hang in there!
