removing smoke
Our renter is leaving and she was a heavy cigarette smoker. Any suggestions how we remove the smoke film from the walls before we paint?
The film is quite heavy. Thanks

Try Simple Green, Greased Lightning or TSP/90. If it's bad enough, it might be worth having the walls profesionally cleaned.

And then reprime with a coat of BIN to cover both stains and odor.
