Last year, we had a small fire in our room, and there was soot on the ceiling and the wall. So, I researched how to remove soot from walls. I found the initial step in cleaning soot from walls is to use a HEPA vacuum attachment for upholstery to get rid of loose particles. I have shared the detailed steps I came across below.

How to Clean Soot Effortlessly?
Here are the basic steps I came across to clean the soot from the walls.
Use drop cloths to cover the floor and a HEPA vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove loose soot particles.
You must use a dry cleaning sponge or Magic Eraser to lift soot from walls.
Now, combine baking soda and a little water to make a paste.
Apply it on the soot, allow it to sit, and then use a moist towel to clean it off.
If there is significant soot damage, think about using a stain-blocking primer to touch up or repaint the affected areas.
I later hired the painter to do the task. I hope you found this helpful.
