Chemical sponges lift soot instead of smearing it further into the surface.
We match method to material, not the other way around.
Soot turns corrosive on metal within about 48 hours — we move quickly.
Standard vacuums push soot particles back into the air — ours don't.

Sponges are swapped frequently, since a saturated sponge starts redepositing particulate.
Vacuuming first prevents particulate from smearing once surfaces get wet.
Different chemistry entirely from what porous drywall needs.
Acidic residue on hardware and fixtures neutralized before pitting sets in.
Overhead surfaces carry the heaviest particulate load and need careful sponge technique.
