is there a household remedy for removing nicotine stains from a pvc door? My mum has moved into a house where the previous owner smoked & the door is near enough yellow rather than white!

a mixture of 1/2 pint of warm water, white wine vinegar about 3 desertspoons full and the juice of a whole lemon.
Use a soft bristled scrubbing brush, dip into mixture and clean !
Good Luck

I had this problem at work with PVC windows. I used a bleach spray and they came up white again.
Betterware (the catalogue that comes through the door) do a cleaner especially for PVC doors that is very good.

the wonderful cleanser may well be the excellent sparkling degreaser offered interior the vehicle dept at Walmart. that's in a crimson jug. purchase a inexpensive, empty spray bottle and a airborne dirt and dust mask, because of the fact the fumes may well be choking. in basic terms spray on the door frames and you will see the nicotine actually run down the door, then wipe off with a humid rag. SPOTLESS! NO Scrubbing!

Is she sure it's not just the lovely magnolia people seem to paint there houses with? On a serious note try johnsons wet wipes they shift most things as they have alcohol in them..

Sugar soap is pretty good for that kind of thing. You can usually get it at supermarkets or hardware shops, just make sure you follow the precautions on the packet.

I had the same problem once and I wiped it all down with a strong bleach, it smelt for a little while but soon disappeared
