[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 542699, member: 11791"] I grew up helping Dad do renos... Cigarette tar? Best answer for carpets is... replace them. You can never get it out. Furniture - re-upholster, including all the stuffing... might have to re-finish the wood, but it can be done "if it's worth the work". Walls - if they have wallpaper on now, you can strip the wallpaper, and what's underneath is usually pretty clean (wallpaper absorbs it). If not... there are ways to clean it enough that specialized sealing primers can be used - and it will take SEVERAL coats of sealing primer. Ceilings - just plan a mess no matter how you fix them! Ceilings? [/QUOTE]
