Can You Handle It Yourself
Call a pro
Light soot from a small contained fire, like a burned pot, can be cleaned with a dry chemical sponge and care. After a real structure fire, wait for the fire department to clear the building, and let professionals handle the structure. Wet wiping soot first, or running an ozone machine with people inside, makes things worse.
