Salvaging Possessions from Smoke Damage?

Posted by Cliff on from the this-may-happen-to-you-someday dept.

SnowDeath asks: "My home caught on fire last Wednesday while my girlfriend and I were off watching the new Harry Potter movie and now we are pretty much left with crap. Most of our stuff didn't get damaged by fire, but rather severly smoke damaged. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting that horid smoke damage out of out clothes, furniture, and computer parts (our mobos were destroyed by smoke)?" Those who would like to donate a buck or two to SnowDeath's "Oh crap, my house caught fire and now I have nothing!" relief fund can go here.

    My roof is kinda leaky and I have no money to pay someone to fix it. I dont have paypal (no credit card) but if you want to contribute to my keep-eggy-from-waking-up-at-4am-with-freezing-rain water-falling-on-his-head fund, email me at eggstasy@clix.pt :)
    Will also take random computer-related tasks such as web development and other programming things.
    I'm a portuguese C.S. student and I know most of the right buzzwords and have had some professional web-dev experience too.
    Check out some (paid) projects i've been working on:

    I can also do translations. I've had some prof. exp. translating stuff from english to portuguese and back. Can do other languages such as french and spanish. Any takers? :)
