Bleach  ;) Use an old tooth-brush to gently scrub the bleach, domestos etc would be fine for this. Then rinse off.

We used to do loads of fire restoration work, if you do as above the soot  will just 'wick' back up and will show grey after a period of time.

Best thing to do is to scrape out just below the soot, wash as described above and then regrout, it looks so much better.
