A vinegar water solution might work too. Play doh was originally invented to remove soot from the walls, did you know that?
Most soot is greasy. Use a product that is a degreaser or you will have smears on your wall. A solution of TSP (found in the paint department) will work. I'd start with a vinegar/water solution with a squirt of blue Dawn dish soap and work up to TSP if the vinegar/water/Dawn solution doesn't work.
