Answer 8

Depending on your type of wall you can use different cleaning items. Pine-Sol works good. Bleach water is good. I have been told that Apple Cider Vinegar works too. My husband and I both smoke but only on our inclosed porch which is aluminum siding. The only way we can get it clean is to use paint. The nicotene stain pits the siding, and makes it hard to wash. In our other houses though I have used the Pine-Sol and the Bleach water. Both of them cleaned the walls so well it looked like they had been freshly painted.

Answer 9

You can wash them with bleach detergent and hot water.And that should remove the stains.

Answer 10

Wash it with TSP (a cleaner you'll find in the paint dept.). If the stains are still there, paint it. I've removed stains with paper towels and Windex or Scrubbing Bubbles.

Answer 11

Sugar soap.
