Any tips on using sugar soap on painted woodwork?

Question

The paintwork in my house - doors, skirting boards - is discoloured through tobacco smoke. I intend using Mangers Sugar Soap to clean it down, now that we have both stopped smoking.
I have read somewhere that unless you wash every last trace of it off the woodwork, you will have problems painting. But I don't intend painting it for a while - the paint is sound. Its just discolouration.
Any experiences or tips?

Answer 1

When you use sugar-soap, wear a pair of rubber gloves and shield your eyes, it's an irritant. Yes, depending on the stains, sugar-soap is effective, but must be rinsed off thoroughly and dry before painting.
A light sanding, and then a rub down with a cloth will help to key in the first coat of emulsion, or undercoat. Enjoy!

I just came across a site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at:

Here is an honest review

If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together.

There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception.

In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need:
-Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions
-Step -by-step instructions how to start your project
-The necessary materials for that particular project
-All the woodworking tools you will need

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.

Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking.

Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years.

Cons
There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading.

Bottom line:
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/RGv91
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Sugar soap is okay for a short time , I use a natural stone cleaner for all my house hold cleaning , clean´s dirty wall´s stainless steal, get´s rid of lime scale clean´s almost all metal´s gold, silver brass , and would you believe it window´s it´s the best thing since sliced bread, if you would like to check out this product here is the web site www.promonov.com, I´m not a sales person. my niece introduced this product to me & I can´t thank her enough for that

Answer 6

To me sugar soap is a waste of time. It supposedly removes grime and grease, but so does elbow grease. Sugar soap is residual too. You have to make sure you rinse well.

Answer 7

Probably best to lightly sand paintwork to take discolouration off,also this will make the paint adhere better when over painting.

Answer 8

no , do not use emulsion on wood, ever. paint is for wood and metal, plastics.(either gloss or matt finish) emulsion for walls and ceiling, ie plaster etc.. the coat different materials and have totally different properties. you can buy gloss or matt paint in any colour. B+Q mix it with Dulux paint.

Answer 10

first of use a pair of rubber gloves then start at the bottom of the wood to get cleaned and then rinse off with cold water works wonders
