Cleaning Nicotine from Walls and Fine Furniture

RE: Cleaning Nicotine from Walls and Fine Furniture Post By Dana (Guest Post) (10/16/2007) Scrubbin' Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner works great to clean vinyl wallboard. It does most of the work for you. Just be sure to wipe off any residue with a damp cloth. RE: Cleaning Nicotine from Walls and Fine Furniture Post By Annie.

It was wood panelling and it didn't damaage it at all. Keep your area well ventilated and wear a mask for whatever cleaner you use.

RE: Cleaning Nicotine from Walls and Fine Furniture Post By Marylin (Guest Post) (01/27/2005) We bought a mobile home that was furnished and saturated with smoke. We washed the walls down with Murphy's Soap - not the ceilings. They can't be washed. Then we called Servicemaster to come in and fog. This was 9 years ago and it cost $150. Don't know what it would be today. That fogging is guaranteed forever. We had it done twice and there is NO smoke smell. We close up and go north for the summer and when we return NO smoke smell. It's amazing!! Worth the money. RE: Cleaning Nicotine from Walls and Fine Furniture Post By Shari (Guest Post) (01/27/2005) For the walls (don't forget your ceilings either), use a product called tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) - it's sold anywhere you can buy house paint - and it's relatively inexpensive - about $3 for a large carton, and you'll likely only use half of it to scrub your whole house (it stores well too). Basically, it's a powdered mix that you add to water to make a mild acid (so use gloves when using) that eats just about any goo that has adhered to your walls over time. It's what all the professional painters use to prep the walls and ceilings with. We bought a mobile home many years ago that reaked of nicotine - we had to change our rinse water a lot, but it all came off, and you would never know that smokers had lived there previously.

There are national brands of orange cleaner that will work, but not as well.
