How and what can you wash off soot

The first thing to do is to move the furniture away from the damaged area, if possible, remove it from the room.

After the fire from the walls

Soot and soot are corrosive substances that penetrate the texture. After a fire, first of all, you need to clean the walls of old wallpaper and putty. There is no point in washing these materials, as black bloom "permeates" the texture.

Much also depends on the nature of the fire. Soot is burnt material. If the plastic burned, it will be a sticky and viscous mixture that can only be removed with manual stripping. This means that the walls will have to be redone again, since no means can remove the sticky plaque.

If a tree was on fire, then only the top layer of wallpaper can be removed from the walls. Treat them with a soil solution.

The problem with old soot is that there is a dry layer at the top that can be easily removed with a sharp object, and a greasy layer at the bottom. If the case is neglected, you will have to remove the soot in layers, i.e. in stages.
