        "text": "Addressing smoke damage promptly is crucial. Within minutes, porous materials can begin to stain permanently. Within hours, acidic smoke residues can discolor plastics and cause etching on metal. After a few days, walls may yellow, and odors can embed deeply, making restoration more challenging and costly. Immediate action helps mitigate long-term damage and improves the chances of successful restoration.",
