A Chemical Sponge Solution
A special type of sponge is designed specifically to remove soot and stains related to smoke damage after a fire. While it’s called a sponge, it works more like an eraser when you rub it over dry walls to remove marks. Rub down the ceiling, overlapping strokes slightly with the chemical sponge until the entire ceiling has been treated; then work on the walls, cleaning from the top down, as the sponge may drop a bit of debris in the process. When the sponge appears dirty, slice the dirty areas away with a utility knife to reveal a fresh surface. Room Refresher
To help get the entire room smelling fresh once again while you're cleaning the walls and ceiling, open the windows and utilize fans to allow the smelly air to flow out and the fresh air to get back in.
