It is a normal bathroom. Tiles up ot shoulder height, higher in the shower. The ceilings are affected too because my husband smokes in there so as not to annoy others. He was a renovation man when young in Denmark,but now is 82 and cant do anything much, I would give the whole job over to a specialist if I could find one, and cost of course.

I am also old, but strong and cuould probably do it,if get advice.

Hi @danish,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

There's no need to apologise, we understand and will do our best to help you regardless.

The chemical that commercial cleaners use to remove cigarette smoke stains and smells is trisodium phosphate. This Tricleanium All Purpose Cleaner is a trisodium phosphate cleaner which should be perfect for this job. There is also this Tricleanium 750ml All Purpose Cleaner Ready-To-Use which requires no mixing and could be good for you.

Ensure you follow the instructions on the packaging closely and wear a mask, protective clothing, gloves and eye protection when cleaning with this product.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you Jacob. I understand your post, but I can see it is not something I can do. I am 84, ad my husband has dementia. Maybe you know of someone who would come and do it as a paid job?

I lie in Redfern. The bathroom has a shower, a back, a toilet and we would remove all other stuff.

Where can I go to fnd someone who can scrub back a ceiling like that. Kind regards...Kirsten

Hi Kirsten (@danish),

You can use a service such as HiPages, Airtasker or even the good old-fashioned Yellow Pages to find a commercial cleaner who operates in your area. They will be able to help with this kind of job.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
