what is best for removing nicotine from white min blinds?

wellmy mother in law who is a very heavy smoker, will take her blinds 2 at a time and soak them in the bathtub with a water and bleach mixture, i was shocked when she took them out and they looked brand new. and her's were a really dark brown color.

i just washed mine in the washing machine.however they might not be the same type of blinds as yours.mine are vertical and wasahable.easypeasy.

I promise this will work and turn them white again. You can buy this in most hardware, or paint stores. It is called TSP that is short tri-sodium phospate. Desolve into your bath dub the amount directed and soak them over night then take a gentle brush to them. If the are really had rinse well and soak over nite again. this has worked well for me over the years. You can also use TSP as a cleaner for your walls and floors or any tough cleaning job it works like magic give it a try and it is not expensive either.

It depends on what type of blinds you are talkign about to be honest. If they are the vertical vinyl/plastic type the easiest I have found is to fill the tub up about half way up with hot water and then add some bleach, vinegar, or oxi-clean to the water. Put them into the tub and let them soak for a bit and then just wipe them down. If they are the horizontal, the individual blinds come undone and you can do them the same way. If they are cloth ones or cloth covered good luck. Those are hard to get clean.

I would try either ammonia water (Fabuloso is excellent with a delightful scent) or plain white vinegar. Vinegar is an excellent cleanser and comparatively inexpensive. you can spray the solution on while hanging the blinds over the tub or shower - then wipe gentle with a soft cloth or sponge - then simply hose down with the shower head.

I always found that vinegar water worked better than anything for this. I have actually sprayed my walls down with vinegar water to rid the smell of the smoke after the house has been closed up all winter. I like it as it is a more natural cleanser and it won't ruin the paint.

You will have to soak and scrub them. To be honest..It is cheaper to replace the blinds than clean them. I have thrown all the blinds away in my house for that very reason. The person who owned the house before we moved in was a very heavy smoker. You move a picture and you can se where it was because the nicotine is so bad on the walls and blinds. makes the house stink as well.

A water and vinegar mixture works. Thats how I get the smoke stains off mine. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
