I had the problem, when I got married my husband's house was full of nicotine, I tied so many things untill by accident my son sprayed Windex (the blue one) on the wall, was like magic, the brownish color of nicotine run down the wall...it took me almost 17 botlles of Windex to finish the cleaning...I used it in everything and I mean everything...try it it won't hurt.....if it work for me it might work for you...use sponges to clean the windex, you might need spray the wall more than ones, its all deppends of how much nicotine is on the wall...good luck

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser just wet it and wipe. I just cleaned the whole front porch with it since I didn't want to use bleach that would run off and damage my garden. It took off a mold that had formed when it was really hot and humid.

The Mr.Clean Magic Erasers are worth a try. My porcelain bathtub needs to be re-glazed, so it stains really easily. One day I filled it with bleach and then tried to clean it with a scrub brush and Ajax, but nothing happened. I tried the magic eraser, and the stains came off. You have to put a little muscle into it, but it won't scratch or pit.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - I have used it on aluminum at my house by the river and it worked great with very effort.

Try simple green. They sell it at Home Depot. This stuff could scrape the love stains off of Courtney Love in 5 seconds flat....

You need a pressure washer (just water, maybe a pinch of pressure washer cleaner).
