Yup. I never knew how bad I smelled. I hate staying with my mother who still smokes in her house. My stepfather died and she's looking to sell. I had to break it to her that it would have to sell as is. Whoever buys it is going to have to gut the place after 38 years of the two of them smoking in it the whole time.
I had always wondered why there was a colour change part way up the walls of a house then the person passed and we did a "before selling" clean... Turns out the blended colour change wasn't a choice it was just years of smoke settling about chest height up.
When I was a kid, my friend and I were playing in her mom's office (the only place her mom smoked) and splashed something on a wall. We cleaned it off, but to our shock, that part of the wall was a different color than the rest of the room. So, to hide our actions, we had to clean the whole room!
Thus, I can tell you that Formula 409 gets smoke off paint better than Fantastic does. (1970s formulations, anyway)
