What the best spray solution for removing smoke odor from a fire on clothing? I'd rather not have to wash them all if possible. Thank you.

I also had a house fire--back in 2001. You will have to wash everything, several times. Vinegar in the rinse cycle helps. Avoid using the dryer.
As a firefighter, I can tell you that if you don't wash them, they will start to discolor. Smoke isn't just a smell, it is particles of the burned items. It will stain clothing over time and depending on what burned, can even weaken the fabric fibers. That is why we are required to wash our turn out gear on a regular basis.
Avoid the clothes dryer--it can set the smell in. Line dry what you can and let it all air out good.
Vinegar and baking soda are a huge help in the laundry.
You could put crushed newspaper in a suitcase and put the clothes in there. The newspaper will absorb the odor
Laundry detergent, baking soda, and white vinegar in your wash. If you want something topical try this:
