Tough on smoke and greasy soot, gentle on the substrates you must save.
After a fire, time works against you. Sticky soot and polymerized smoke films lock onto walls, ceilings, tile, and metal. If you scrub too hard, you scar the surface. If you use the wrong chemistry, you smear the mess, set stains, or etch finishes. Crews lose hours reworking rooms and chasing streaks that won’t rinse.
SaraWest Fire Soot Cleaner is built for that window when speed and control matter. It’s a restoration-grade alkaline solvent-surfactant system that wets fast, lifts bonded soot, and rinses clean with low foam. It clings to verticals, breaks the greasy fraction that regular degreasers leave behind, and won’t gum up pads or sprayers. Use it across painted drywall, sealed masonry, tile, stainless, and coated metals to get to a uniform, residue-free substrate that’s ready for sealing.
Formulated and filled in Pampa, Texas, we run short, consistent supply lines and keep the variability out of your job costs. Need your brand on the pail or a tuned scent/dye package? We private-label and custom-fill at scale - pails to drums - so you can own the spec and the margin without distributor layers.
- Alkaline solvent-surfactant blend cuts greasy soot and polymerized smoke films fast.
- Low-foam rinse leaves no haze, minimizing rework before sealing or repainting.
- Vertical cling provides longer contact on walls and ceilings without heavy runoff.
- Built for sprayers, pads, floor machines, and pressure washers without gumming.
- Broad hard-surface compatibility; clear guidance for sensitive substrates to protect finishes.
Pre-test in an inconspicuous spot. Wear gloves and eye protection. Remove loose ash and dry soot with HEPA vacuum or dry sponge before wet cleaning.
Dilution: Light smoke film on nonporous surfaces: 1:20 with water. Moderate/greasy soot: 1:10. Heavy, polymerized soot: 1:4; use product undiluted only for stubborn spots. Apply by pump sprayer, sponge, or floor machine. Allow 3–5 minutes dwell; do not let it dry. Agitate with a soft brush or non-scratch pad.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water until runoff is clear. For exteriors or masonry, apply low-pressure soap then rinse 1,000–1,500 psi, wide fan tip. Works in cold water; warm water may increase speed. Optimal surface temperature: 50–100°F. Avoid unsealed wood and acid-sensitive stone; always pre-test coated metals and flat paint.
- Coverage of 800–1200 sq ft per ready-to-use gallon at 1:10 dilution.
- Uniform wetting and lift achieved with a 3–5 minute dwell time.
- Low-foam rinse-down typically under 5 minutes per 200 sq ft zone.
- Residue-free substrates ready for sealers or primers after single wash cycle.
- Reduced pad and brush loading, extending tool life across multi-room jobs.
Factory-direct from Pampa, Texas means you’re not paying distributor markup on water and buzzwords. You get a dialed-in, restoration-grade formula with consistent raw sourcing and tight QC, not a rebadged household degreaser. We scale from pails to drums with short lead times, lock in specs under NDA, and keep freight simple. The result: better performance on soot, fewer passes, and a cost-per-job you can forecast.
