In case anybody reads this. You need a garden pump sprayer using tsp solution in hot water from your hardware store and a sponge mop. You can do larger sections. Spray on tsp solution using pump sprayer, give it a few minutes to melt the nicotine and then wipe off with sponge mop and rinse in clean buckets of water. This video is a way thats taking way to long to do this job. Or maybe this video is just a joke.
You could just steam clean with a decent steamer which will also remove the layer of paint and it’s pretty much the same as a carpet cleaner it works fast and is very affective then spray stain block in a paint spraying machine complete in one day
never EVER paint over smoke/soot damaged ceiling. The paint will start to flake and peel within just a few months if not weeks. no matter what primer you use. the only way is to CLEAN it thorougly first and then consider an oil sealer before you even think about that first coat of primer. or consult a professional fire restoration to find out how they do it
I followed your instructions on a ceiling and walls much worse than what you have and it worked well! This was from a grease fire that was put out with water and it covered the ceiling with billowing smoke and then it went down the walls. We really did not think it was going to work because we first tried Spray 9 which usually works better than other degreasers and it did not do a thing it just swirled the soot around. We did not use paper towels though because they came apart on the walls , we used streak free microfiber cloths.Thank you so much!
That’s way too much elbow grease. I use a product called Gone sold by Oreck I learned about from a fire restoration contractor. You spray it on and watch the nicotine start to melt off then use a large pad floor mop and keep rinsing it out. No ladders. Super easy to remove 30 years of smoking mess.
This is so damn funny using a little spray bottle to spray the whole house. Why don't you use a bug and garden sprayer with a lot of chemical instead of stupid little bottles
Next time you might want to Try out LA is totally awesome It is very cheap at the family dollar you can even find them at some dollar stores you won’t have to work as hard
I just bought a condo whose previous owner smoked in the master bedroom. Before selling the house, someone used paint to cover up some of the nicotine stains on the ceiling. Is there a way to remove the cover up paint in order to get at the nicotine stains?
Thanks Does it also work for taking off candle residue? I've gotten some residue off with a degreaser type cleaner. And have a TSP substitute as backup
Awesome from the dollar store works best get a 3 ft long mop from Home Depot and there huge paint trey to dunk it in lots of terry cloth rags to clean excess way easier and faster
this will only work if you do the entire ceiling. for local smoke damage. you either have to clean the entire ceiling. or just repaint. (otherwise you get a whiter clean spot where your smoke damage used to be)
I hope he's getting paid handsomely for all that labor!! I didn't clean, but just painted my bathroom ceiling with a paint roller and it was a very small area, but my neck and shoulders were so sore I swore I'd never do it again, so I look at the size of that room, and the blackened vaulted ceiling, and think, boy, is this guy a trooper...and a good sport!
Thank you! I used to wipe my walls with soapy water and it wouldn’t come off of the stud areas. Everyone said it’s because I must light candles, but I don’t regularly light candles. There are rooms that’s I’ve never had candles in and were so stained. I truly appreciate your video!!!!
LoL I was thinking the same thing 3:06
With a voice like yours, you can make anything sound doable.

Just inspired me to tear the drywall out.
DON'T LIE...... You never tried Sugar Soap Concentrate.... AND how was your back / spine after that m8??? ...... Flat Mop and Sugar soap ... DONE....
pure spirit, effective 100% You can also use denatured alcohol, but it is slower
Czysty spirytus , i też denaturat
thank you so much! I’ll try this. Looking at the smoke stain is a bad memory
Check those sponges. Usually have formaldehyde in them. That toxin never leaves your body. 😮😮😮😮😮
four words...Chem Sponge - Unger Pole
Repainting is better
This is horrible this just happened to me I don't know what to do! Soot everywhere!! 😩 The chimney guys are coming tomorrow!

The last one.
You have to laugh - because it's so bad.
Nothing works better than full fat milk.

…unless the room has carpeting 🫤
I need to do this..

Cause you can’t saturate a wall with water or you’ll ruin the wall.
@@tashie6288 wrong you just control the amount of water being sprayed and it takes practice

Is there an alternative to simple green as I don't think we have it in Scotland
Benefect Atomic Fire & Soot Degreaser
I have given a budget to clean a flat but after watching this video, I have stepped back and returned the advance, thank you very much

No, you now need to use a Cover stain sealer prior to top coats with ceiling paint
What a man. He makes it look so easy.
He was a cripple after that effort...lmao..

Thank you!
Looks slow and agonizing

air seal, and steam it off.
Prime with kiltz, 2 coats of ceiling paint... done in 2 hours
You could have primed it and painted it in half the time. Just saying
I think any smoke might stain through new paint tho
How does this work on vinyl wallpaper?
I could oil prime that ceiling and put a coat of latex in 2 hours lmao
and you would still have the nasty cigarette odor
Yeah that does look like a lot of work.

"You could wear safety goggles if you want...but I'm not" Love this dude!

Love the brutal honesty.... going to be a hard shift tomorrow....
Painting is easier
Fuck this! I'll just burn my house down!
