For paneled walls, you could try Avon skin so soft. Water could discolor paneling so if you must use water solutions, do so sparingly. Dusting sprays such as pledge or old gold are also good for cleaning paneling as is Murphy's oil soap.

A little ammonia, a little white vinagar, a squirt of dawn dish soap, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and some hot water. At least one gallon of hot water. This takes it off fast and you don't have to go back over it to rince. I have even used Easy Off Oven Cleaner in the blue can on stubborn areas on the wall. With that though, you have to work very fast because it will remove the paint right off of the wall.

I know someone out there knows the answer to this. We are moving into a place where the person was a heavy smoker.


I have just done a test with several different cleaners including TSP and the only one that really does the job is Scrubbing Bubbles.


I rented a home where we all smoked for ten years and the walls were terribly stained. I used bleach as well as many different things. I found the easiest way to clean and deodorize was to use white vinegar and water with a mop.
