Yesterday a friend gave me a call - there is a condo in her community that is in foreclosure - seems someone passed on and the remaining relatives just cleared out the furniture and let the bank take the place over. Well, after checking it out I am understanding why. The place is a mess!
The gentleman that lived there must have resided there for years! The walls and ceiling are stained yellow from cigarette smoke. It is so bad that when they removed the wall hanging in the bathroom you could see that all of the bathroom tiles (with the exception of the spot that had been covered by whatever had been on the wall there) were totally YELLOW!
My friend is interested in the place but is wondering what she can do to get rid of that horrible smell! The carpet has been removed, but she is wondering if paint alone will get rid of that odor and I am really clueless! I have NEVER seen anyplace turned TOTALLY YELLOW like this place is! It is disgusting!
Does anybody have any experience with a place where smokers lived for a long period of time? Does that come out of the walls and cabinets? I am sure that odor is deep inside everything!
Suggestions on what to do are welcome!!! (No, we can't burn it down, it is a condo)
