A standard shop vacuum does the opposite of what's needed here.

Dry-chemical sponge work lifts embedded particulate without pushing it deeper.

Sequencing matters as much as the cleaning technique itself.
Vents and returns cleaned on the same visit since they keep redistributing soot otherwise.
A technician answers and mobilizes the nearest available crew.
No return trip needed once the surface classification is done.
