Using the wrong tool on either class tends to make the residue worse.
Local Somerset dispatch keeps that window from closing before we arrive.
Fine particulate captured rather than recirculated back into the air.

Dry-chemical sponge work lifts embedded particulate without pushing it deeper.
Wetting a soot-loaded carpet before vacuuming just sets the stain.
A completely different chemistry than what porous drywall responds to.
This track gets prioritized first because the corrosion clock doesn't pause for anything else.
Ceilings get worked before walls so falling particulate doesn't recontaminate finished surfaces below.
A property can look clean and still be recirculating particulate through the ducts.
A technician answers and mobilizes the nearest available crew.
No return trip needed once the surface classification is done.
Every surface gets classified and priced before any cleaning starts.

Classification happens before any cleaning tool comes out.
That window is a major reason response speed matters here.
Cleaning reduces odor, but persistent smell sometimes needs a separate treatment.
Skipping that order is the most common way carpet soot gets set in permanently.
