A protein fire results from burning any protein rich fibers, such as those you find in most meat, or eggs. What's so remarkable about protein fires is that they don't actually look like fires. They don't have large flames and they don't produce visible smoke.
Simply so, what is a protein fire?
A protein fire is smoke damage resulting from the extreme burn of a protein enriched fibre. At first glance, protein fires do not appear to cause any damage to your home and contents.
People also ask, how do you clean up after a protein fire?
The most effective way to clean up a protein fire is to clean up before soot and grease build-up. Clean surfaces after cooking with a mixture of a quarter cup of white vinegar and tablespoon of liquid dish soap per quart of water.
To clean smoke damage, start by removing loose soot from the walls with the hose attachment of a vacuum cleaner or by wiping it with a dry chemical sponge. Next, use a rag soaked in diluted TSP solution to wash the soot stains from the wall one section at a time.
