Content: If a lot of elbow grease and a couple of spray bottles of diluted vinegar doesn’t shift the smoke discoloration to your walls, you may need to get a little tougher with it and use trisodium phosphate – a degreaser and cleaning agent that works well on smoke-stained walls. If you do use trisodium phosphate, be sure to take precautions – wear gloves, goggles and protective clothing. Mix one tablespoon of trisodium phosphate in one gallon of warm water, apply to the wall, leave for a few minutes, and wipe off using a clean sponge dipped in clean, warm water.

White vinegar also acts as a ‘smoke deodorizer’. Not because it has a strong smell itself, but because it soaks up and traps smoke particles from the air. Here is how to use white vinegar to rid yourself of that acrid smoke odor: Wipe your walls and other surfaces (including furniture, floors and ceilings) with the diluted vinegar solution. Dip a clean cloth in the vinegar solution, and wring it out until almost dry. Stand in the middle of the room, and whirl the cloth around your head. You may feel a little silly doing this, but it is a great way to attract smoke particles to the cloth.
