Hi there, it depends on what kind of ceiling you're dealing with. I hate to say "paint it" but unless you can SCRUB it down, it will be very hard to deal with smoke discoloration.
I wash it with Dollar Tree Awesome Orange, and stubborn spots the Awesome Degreaser and use a big car sponge, wear kitchen rubber gloves and googles if needed, The round plastic scrubbies work good too. I put the wash basin on top of the frig or counter.
hi, i don't know where you are, but in Australia we have a product called 'Sugar Soap" it is a liquid which you can dilute in water in a bucket. your smoke stains should wash off with a soft cloth and a little rubbing. good luck with this
ps, i have found it easiest if you have one person up the ladder and the other rinsing out the cloth in the bucket, while you use another one. makes a faster job. you will most likely need to change the mix in the bucket several times.
Old-fashioned Spic and Span worked for me when my ex-husband started a fire in the LR right after I had painted it. Room looked like a campsite there was so much smoke a/c he forgot to open the flue. He had a Master Degree but no common sense.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Hello. You can use TSP. It is a product for cleaning walls and ceilings.

Clean it with TSP. That is what many painter use to clean before painting.

Forgot to tell you that Spic and Span can be found by going into Google. Spice and Span used to clean almost anything imaginable.
