Both of our parents were heavy tobacco smokers going back to their teenage years.

Regardless of reports from health officials, they exposed us to ninthhand smoke every single day by smoking in the house.

When I was getting their apartment ready to sell after they both passed, I was shocked by how red the “white” paint on their walls looked. I tried to clean the nicotine off the walls, but it was no use. In the end our only option was to paint over the nasty red crud. It wasn’t the most exciting job in the world while I was busy, but the transformation inside once I was complete was blatant. After the painting was complete, I wasn’t finished fixing the loft after all of those years of smoke exposure. The blinds as well as curtains were dyed red as well as well as odored like an ashtray as well. But some of the most tragic damage from their smoking was the nicotine residue I found in the central HVAC system as well as the air duct connected to it. I ended up buying a current cooling system as well as had to pay a air duct cleaning business to get the nicotine residue out of our ventilation system. I’m sure it was no simple feat for those gentlemen, but they were able to get it done. The cooling system no longer odored like cigarettes while running as well as the loft itself had almost no smell whatsoever inside after I finished the job by breaking out the old rugs as well as replacing them with ceramic tile. The best section is the current cooling system as well as clean air duct instantly raised the value of the loft as well as led myself and others to getting more for it when I finally sold it weeks later.
