Content: Step 4
Rinse the wall with plain water and a clean sponge to remove any cleaner residue. Let it air-dry thoroughly. Tip
Find a dry cleaning sponge at your local hardware, home supply or painting supply store. Dry cleaning sponges are also called soot sponges or chemical sponges, although this name is a misnomer -- they do not have any chemical cleaners in them. Vacuum the wall first if you have loose soot. A shellac primer used before painting covers both smoke stains and odors. Advertisement
