Buy a bottle of Sugar Soap, and was down according to the instructions...amazingly good.
Tsp, rinse, tsp again. Rinse, Wear gloves When touching walls. The nicotine can be absorbed by your skin. Primer then 2 coats of paint. My dad was a chain smoker.if you walk into his apartment you’d swear the walls were painted gold. Take a framed picture off the wall, you would see white.
"AWESOME' from Dollar General -- the active chemical is 2-Butoxy Ethanol; virtually no odor; dilute w/ water; very economical, and leaves no residue -- no rinse ... no ammonia, bleach, acid, non-flammable.
Wash it down with a degreaser from hardware store or Dawn works great. If it is as bad as the room I redid, I would also use a primer first to ensure coverage.
Dawn
