        "text": "While minor surface soot might seem manageable, professional cleaning is strongly recommended for smoke damage. Smoke residue is often acidic and can cause corrosion and permanent discoloration if not cleaned properly and promptly. Professional restoration companies use specialized equipment, cleaning agents, and techniques to safely remove soot, neutralize odors, and prevent secondary damage, ensuring a more thorough and lasting restoration.",
