    I had a bad fire in a house once and found that cleaning was the
    only solution to getting rid of the smell which is the result of a
    residue of smoke which has been deposited on everything.  I tried
    every cleaner I could get my hands on and some from a professional
    company which specializes in cleaning up after fires. The best thing
    - hands down - was the household cleaner Fantastic. It removed the
    gunk left by the smoke deposit better than anything else. It's
    available everywhere in the U.S.  Test first - I don't know what kind
    of beads your friend has - but some glass beads (esp. seed beads) 
    have finishes that  could be damaged or removed.  An alternative
    might be to clean the items in question in a vibratory tumbler. I
    wish her good luck - it's a nightmare to have to deal with cleaning
    up after a fire - been there and wouldn't wish it on someone I
    loathed.
