Treating both classes the same way is the most common soot-cleanup mistake.
Using the wrong tool on either class tends to make the residue worse.
Metal fixtures get attention early since acidic residue starts pitting fast.
A standard shop vacuum does the opposite of what's needed here.

Dry-chemical sponge work lifts embedded particulate without pushing it deeper.
Wetting a soot-loaded carpet before vacuuming just sets the stain.
Solvent-based agents lift residue that a dry sponge would just smear across a hard surface.
This track gets prioritized first because the corrosion clock doesn't pause for anything else.
Sequencing matters as much as the cleaning technique itself.
Vents and returns cleaned on the same visit since they keep redistributing soot otherwise.

Crews arrive carrying tools for both the porous and non-porous tracks.

Both tracks get worked through to a final inspection you sign off on.
"Learning that porous and non-porous surfaces get treated completely differently was new information, but it made sense once explained." — Homeowner, Inver Grove Heights
"They got to our kitchen faucet fast enough that it never even started pitting, which the adjuster said was lucky timing on our part." — Homeowner, Inver Grove Heights, MN
"Watching them vacuum the carpet before doing anything wet made sense once they explained wetting soot-loaded fiber just sets the stain." — Homeowner, Inver Grove Heights
Porous materials absorb soot into the surface itself; non-porous ones just hold it on top.
Classification happens before any cleaning tool comes out.
That window is a major reason response speed matters here.
Particulate removal and odor treatment are related but distinct services.
Yes, as long as HEPA extraction happens before any wet cleaning step.
Response times stay short across Inver Grove Heights specifically because the corrosion window on metal fixtures doesn't wait.
