If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
