What paint covers and removes the odor from soot after a kitchen fire?

TSP or Trisodium Phosphate is really good at getting soot and smoke off walls. Then, even tho' it's not cheap, I would get Rustoleum. Best paint you can buy. IMHO!
Years ago we did a fire rehab job. We tried the expensive soot removers. Totally Awesome from the dollar store worked better! Also call your local tool rental center and find an ozone generator. Car detailers and casinos use them all the time to kill odors. Be careful, though, because it will kill plants or pets. Get everything living out while in use.

I had a small stove top fire in a skillet and the fire scorched the wall above the stove underneath the overhead vent. It scorched the wall and the cabinet with black smoke. What is the proper way to clean off the smoke and how can I remove it from the wood cabinets? Regular soap/water will not remove it, just spreads it.

How do I remove the smudge stains after a fire? The fire was in my kitchen. The house is made of cement. The walls are a mess. Please advise.

My house had a small fire. The dryer caught on fire, and the pantry it was in had a little fire damage.
Does anyone have an idea for cleaning grease fire residue off of painted walls?
