Handle all electrical items with extreme caution. Throughout the House Keep movement to a minimum and keep your hands clean. This will help prevent soot particles from penetrating upholstery, carpets, walls and woodwork thus preventing further damage. Upholstery Vacuum loose soot particles. Cover upholstered furniture with sheets. Drapes & Carpets Vacuum loose soot particles. Place clean, dry towels or linens over carpets in heavy traffic areas. Houseplants Wash off both sides of leaves; softened water or milk helps. Ventilation Systems Change furnace and air-conditioning filters. Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air grilles. Food & Drinks Take inventory then discard canned and packaged foods or beverages that may have been stored close to fire, heat or water. They could be contaminated. Refrigerator & Freezer If the electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop open the doors. Use common sense, and determine whether or not you should remove the doors to the appliance for safety reasons. Kitchen & Bathrooms If the heat is off during freezing temperature, pour approved antifreeze solution, such as would be used for swimming pools or RV’s down sinks, toilet bowls and tubs. Be certain that the antifreeze type that you use is approved for such use. Clean and protect chrome on faucets and appliances with a light coating of WD-40®.
