If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Coal Valley, IL fire claims get partially denied.
