The soot from a house fire, however, is much more caustic than cigarette smoke. That is why the damage is much greater, in a shorter period of time. I have used Murphy's oil soap with good success to clean the smoke smell off wood. Unfortunately, the smoke smell is not just on the outside of the case. It's usually also inside the piano. So although the outside of the case might smell good, the inside is still going to smell like smoke. In that case, you might want to use a product like Fabrize.
