Once you get that all cleaned up, you need Pinterest!

And congratulations!

If you have any old tee shirts use those make sure the color won't bleed rewash and use again cheaper than paper towels.

Awesome works great but have a rag ready because when you spray it on, the nicotine rolls off with the cleaner.

Even if you dilute the totally awesome it still works good that is the cheapest cleaner you can buy for a dollar a bottle but it is some good stuff. It is a mess cleaning up cigarette smoke getting it off everything but it is possible to do that. Don't let anyone discourage you if you like the house you can get it clean and the hardfloors are better than carpet make take some work to get them fixed back right just google or go to Lowe"s or Home Depo they can tell you how. The internet is the best tool of all.

Heavy duty cleaner usually used by professionals.

The house we bought had the same problems. Wash down the walls, Kiltz, and paint. We're still working on the floors. I think they used wax or something on them. They look nasty. Only thing we've found that will get them clean is ammonia.

Try walnuts for the floor...It works on wood furniture..

Sorry but I don't remember the name but there is a company in town that will come clean your duct work. It cost us around $100. Best $100 spent in a long time. The entire house smells so clean now.

For the cabinets try Murphy's Oil...it will make those suckers look new again

Awesome from Dollar Tree or Dollar General will clean the windows and walls. Spray on and wipe off with damp towels. Clean windows with windex when you get all the dirt and nicotine off.

We dealt with this issue in cleaning the house after my mom passed. Mom & dad smoked HEAVILY for years & this is what took both their lives. But, cleaning the house was a nightmare. We used Murphy Oil Soap & washed every wall, all the cabinets & even cleaned the light fixtures. We painted the ceiling with Kilz. We did get the house clean. Yellow nicotine literally dripped off the walls when we washed them. YUCK!! It made me think about what someone's lungs look like after smoking.

Good luck. I know you can do it. We did.

Don't listen to the ones that says don't buy the house..

We helped my son get a house, and we clean the walls with awesome , but do wear a mask. Then we help get the wall painted later on. the floors , just buff the bad spot, then put a stain on it, the same color as the floor.
