I am sorry to say this but no. The oder will go away but it will be awhile. You can wash it out of your clothes normally. You can try washing the walls with wd40 and bleach. WD40 will break down the oil, however it still takes time for the oder to go away. That's the main reason I quit working on oil fired systems years ago. Got tired of bringing the smell in my house every night.
