Combining harsh fumes from smoke with cleaning products can irritate your lungs, so make sure you have the windows open (if possible) and fans running to bring fresh air to the area in which you are working. Especially when cleaning your ceiling, safety goggles will prevent you getting soot in your eyes, while rubber gloves will protect your hands from cleaning chemicals. In addition, try to wear old clothes that you doing mind getting stained and ruined. A hat will protect your hair from dust and soot. This will help to avoid transferring soot stains to the carpet or flooring. The first step to cleaning smoke damage is to remove any loose soot clinging to the walls. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner or with a dry chemical sponge.  Fix the plain attachment onto the vacuum cleaner hose, and hold the nozzle slightly above the surface of the wall. Move it back and forth until all loose soot is removed. You may also want to try using the brush attachment to brush off any additional soot. Anything that is not sucked into your vacuum cleaner should fall on to your drop cloth. Try a dry chemical sponge as an alternative to vacuuming. This chemical sponge is highly recommended because it is impregnated with a chemical that removes soot and smoke from your wall. Using a dry sponge, wipe the soot stain on the wall repeatedly. When the sponge becomes saturated with soot, wash it out in a sink and allow to air dry. If there is severe soot damage on walls or ceilings, they may need to be replaced. A popular cleaner for smoke-damaged walls is Trisodium Phosphate (TSP). While this is a more powerful cleaning solution, it still requires a great deal of time and effort to clean the damage to your walls and/or ceiling.  Put on a pair of heavy duty gloves to protect your hands and forearms and a pair of goggles to protect your eyes. Wear old clothes that you don’t mind having ruined. Fill a standard bucket with 1 gallon warm water and add 1 tablespoon of TSP. Wet a sponge with the TSP solution and wipe your wall or ceiling vigorously with the sponge. Work one section at a time. Rinse the section you have just cleaned with a rag dipped in clean water. Continue until the entire wall and/or ceiling has been cleaned. Repeat the wash/rinse step several times depending on the severity of the soot buildup. Be cautious not to oversaturate your walls with water or let the water seep between your walls and baseboards. If the smoke damage is still visible after this cleaning process, you will likely need to prime your walls and/or ceiling and repaint. However, it is important to make sure they are as clean as possible before you do so. Beware that TSP is a harsh cleaner and can have irritating effects to skin and eyes. Be careful not to allow it to touch your skin, and if it does, wash it off immediately and be on the lookout for severe irritation. There are many good commercial cleaning products designed to remove soot from walls as well as other surfaces. You can choose solutions that are heavy-duty for severe smoke damage, or that are gentle enough to be used around children and pets. A simple online search will provide many options, but here are some suggestions to start with:  Unsmoke Degrease-All Degreaser: tough enough to remove the heaviest smoke damage. Benefect Atomic Degreaser: a solvent-free, high-performance botanical degreaser, safe for use around people and pets. Chemspec Smoke-Solv Liquid Wall Wash: specially formulated to remove soot and smoke residue from walls and hard surfaces. After you clean off the soot, you will need to deal with the smoke odor. Walls can absorb smoke and leak it back into the room. Several common household items, or those found easily in grocery stores, can be used to remove the stubborn smoke odor from the walls of your home, even if they don’t appear smoky or dirty at first.   Place a plastic sheet around the base of the walls to avoid water seeping in between the walls and baseboards. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few tablespoons of detergent, just enough so you create a few bubbles.. Wipe down walls with soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Use white vinegar as an alternative. Try wiping down washable walls with white vinegar (this can also be used on furniture and floors). Vinegar, while strong smelling itself, can be used as a powerful odor-neutralizer. Spray walls and surrounding area with Febreeze. Febreeze, sold in many stores, uses cyclodextrin to absorb odor. Try spraying the walls and affected area down with Febreeze to reduce smoke odor. The smell of Febreeze will be a welcome change from the odor of smoke! While professional smoke damage repair can be costly and potentially unfriendly to the environment, there are companies that will employ environmentally-friendly smoke removal procedures.
