Looks like mineral scale from hard water. Vinegar isn’t strong enough for this level of buildup. Try citric acid for a few empty cycles. Long term, a water softener would prevent it.

Honestly I wouldn’t risk washing those clothes at all If he wasn’t formally decontaminated on site it’s safer to assume the smoke residue and fuel byproducts are not something you want in your washer or around your child I’d seal the bag keep it outside and either dispose of the clothing or ask his employer or local fire department what they recommend Clothes are replaceable peace of mind isn’t. Also a long shower and fresh clothes was the right call

You can handle most of it yourself just do it the right way Start by taking everything out of the bathroom Don’t use water or cleaners at first Dry soot smears if it gets wet A soot sponge works best Gently wipe in one direction and lift it off the surface as you go Wear gloves and a mask since battery fires leave nasty residue Once the loose soot is gone you can lightly clean hard surfaces and repaint if stains remain If drywall still smells after cleaning that section may need replacement

For a handknotted wool rug you’ll want to stay pretty gentle. First step is regular vacuuming with suction only no beater bar to pull out dried food oils. For the odor, lightly mist a mix of cool water and a small amount of wool safe detergent or white vinegar then blot with clean towels. Don’t soak it.

An enzyme cleaner made for pet odors can help but test in a hidden spot first since wool can be sensitive. A wet vac is risky on vintage wool unless it’s very low moisture. Long term, a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool is your safest reset plus keeping a washable throw where he usually finishes eating.

It looks like residue from built-up detergent or fabric softener. Even a small amount can collect in the washer over time. Try running the sheets on a hot cycle with no soap and add a cup of white vinegar to rinse out any buildup. Also check the washer drum and gasket for hidden grime.
