Content: How To Clean Smoke Stained Walls Before Painting
I’ve been in many homes with smoke stained walls either from smokers, fireplaces or just burnt cooking in the kitchen. Smoke needs to be cleaned up and properly sealed before painting if you want to completely eliminate the smell and prevent the smoke from bleeding through your paint into your new paint. While there are many different thoughts on how to best clean smoke, I’ve had the best luck with Arm and Hammer’s Cleaning Soda. Cleaning soda (sodium carbonate) will help clean and remove the smoke and the smoke smell. Simply mix the cleaning soda with warm water and scrub down the walls with a rag. To rinse the walls, mix a cup a vinegar with a gallon of warm water and wash the walls again. This will neutralize the washing soda and help kill the smoke smell (and disinfect the walls). Once the walls dry, sand the walls using a pole and disc sander as mentioned above. Wipe off the dust and you’re ready to paint. NOTE:
