RE: Cleaning Fireplace Smoke Stains off Walls and Ceiling
TSP does not work on fireplace smoke stains on painted walls! I tried many options, but found that vinegar worked the best. All of them required a lot of elbow grease. Be prepared for sore shoulders no matter what product you use. Painting is faster!

I have the same question as Ms. Smithey -- will TSP and/or Krud Kleaner remove the paint from the brick as well as the smoke?

Will TSP and/or Krud Kleaner take the paint off the wall? That's what I'm worried about since I don't want to repaint. Thanks! Susie

like sewingmamma posted, use TSP. It's cheap and it's what the pro cleaners use. Also put an old sheet down on the floor to catch any drips and splatters. Use a scrub brush for rough surfaces such as brick.

Use Krud Kleaner available at Home Depot. Easy and effective. Will also clean oil spills on driveways, etc.

Tri sodium phosphate otherwise known as TSP can be purchased at any hardware store and should remove smoke stains from your walls. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when applying TSP as this is very caustic. sewingmamma
