This works on most area's even with someone who has smoked for over twenty years and never has cleaned their walls.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Take a windex bottle keep about 2/3rds full and add ammonia I prefer lemon ammonia it will turn a medium green color. Open windows have a well ventilated area if needed use a fan. Use a step stool or ladder for higher area's. You may want to move any furniture or such underneath or by the area that you may be working on.

  2. Step 2

    Spray the area liberally it will take off the yellow and brown color immediately wipe with a dry cloth. Depending on how many years and layers of the smoke you may have to repeat this process a few times to many. Rinse your rag as needed. I recommend using many rags for one room. Most if not all of the stain should come off there are some area's that may not but that is not common.

  3. Step 3

    Finally wipe the area with a fresh clean wet rag.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure you have a well ventilated area. You may want to even use a mask to cut down on the fumes that you may breath in.
