The only way is to clean everything with caustic soda (diluted of course) - this will remove any grease and also some of the smoke residues - wear suitable rubber gloves and potective clothing, including goggles - seriously - this **** will burn a hole through your eyeball. When you've finished, start again with a clean solution, or use a proprietary cleaner like cif or something slightly scented. |

She came back,several hours later to a house full of smoke. |
