TSP (tri sodium phosphate) is the go-to for painters to get nicotine off walls. A nice bath would do wonders.![]()

The safest step to take is warm water and Dawn, with a dish towel in the bottom of the sink. Nicotine is harder to get off than dusty grease. If the knick knacks are really delicate, repeat the dishwater step a couple of times, using slightly warmer water each time, and letting them dry between washings. Dawn has a little ammonia, but not as much as Windex, so Windex is great if your treasures don't lose paint. Try a small space on one to be sure. Use a cotton swab to clean small details. Just wait until you see the pretty colors under the nicotine. Best wishes😇 -

TSP can etch glass , ceramics, copper, brass, etc. Dawn cuts grease and may not work on nicotine. Soaking may also harm gentle finishes. Windex can strip ceramic and porcelain. I sell a lot of items on Ebay. I needed one cleaner for jewelry, ceramics, copper, brass, etc. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. A dab of toothpaste on the brush and gently brush. Even gems come out sparkling. Also works on the rubber of sneakers. Works on teeth. -

I've used Totally Awesome. Nicotine, grease, dirt just seems to run off. Just rinse in warm water after cleaning!- See 1 previous
