  • Imagine what the inside of her lungs looked like. Christ.

  • Windows have cleaned up nice but the radiators never seem to loose the stains. If you dont smoke and use decent rads they will stay white for a long long time.

  • One hell of a cleaning job!
    Get those big 5 litre jugs of industrial degreaser (water degradable stuff), wear a paper suit with genuine marigolds taped over the top, full goggles, mask with proper filters on it, then get to work. Or just insure the place and let it burn. As even with duck taped on marigolds, the fowl brown stank juice will run into your arm pits.
    Fag tar or 3rd hand smoke is impossible to remove from many surfaces, but you can try and get most of it out and then seal it in with something like zinsser. Smaller radiators I would just replace as you'll have to remove it and disturb the joints anyway.
    Got a piano off a family member who smoked a lot even for that time period 35 years ago, despite various attempts to clean it, and 35 years, still reeks. Anyone without lungs of steel will not be able to lift the lid on it and inhale in any way. Should take it to schools and chemically shock kids with it into staying away from cigs. Anyone who ever makes the statement 'don't worry about the smoke, it'll air out', needs to take a look at themselves.
