If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
Do not hose it down or wipe it around. Particles and oil spread when disturbed. A professional crew uses protective gear, lifts residue from the surface and disposes of it as hazardous waste.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
No. Baking soda is not a reliable fix, and it may only move residue around. A cleanup crew uses products matched to the agent and removes contamination instead of masking it.
It depends on the agent, the room and the surfaces. Some residue fades in a few days, while some types cling to fabrics and carpet much longer. If burning returns when you go back in, the residue is still there.
Careful removal of residue that fresh air alone cannot clear.
