It's not the first time I've bought an orange nicotine stained unit but I'm finding this latest property really challenging. Even the metal window frames outside the property is badly stained! I've been sugarsoaping everything, several times, I'm going to do another wash down over ceiling and walls with a sponge mop. I've used straight sugarsoap on the outside of property and nicotine won't budge. Any other suggestions? I wasn't really up for a major reno, so is sugarsoaping enough or will I need to paint and remove carpet? Would the smell be able to be removed from vinyl floor or will it need to be ripped up? I've removed the curtains and even the plastic curtain hooks and the hollow area of curtain rods are dripping with nicotine. They would be easy to replace though, yucko. I've managed to remove only about 50% of smell so far.
