Things You Will Need
-
Cover all electronics, flooring and furniture with painter's plastic to protect against drips. Use towels or newspaper as an alternative.
-
Fill a bucket half-full of steaming water. Use 5 cups of Pine-Sol or Awesome Concentrated cleaner. Awesome Concentrated is available at the Dollar Store or online (see Resources).
-
Dunk the sponge squeegee into the bucket. Scrub the ceiling in a row, back and fourth, twice. Wring the squeegee out. Begin a new row, repeating this step until the ceiling is clean.
-
Change the water and use fresh cleaner when the water is dark with a muddy tint.
The Drip Cap
- Nicotine can cause your home to smell like a stale ashtray.
- Clean nicotine off your ceilings once a month--twice a week, if you smoke two packs a day.
