An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

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.
