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.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Derby, KS insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
