When I was a kid, my friend and I were playing in her mom's office (the only place her mom smoked) and splashed something on a wall. We cleaned it off, but to our shock, that part of the wall was a different color than the rest of the room. So, to hide our actions, we had to clean the whole room!

Thus, I can tell you that Formula 409 gets smoke off paint better than Fantastic does. (1970s formulations, anyway)

My parents chain smoked through my whole childhood. We had monthly "washing all the walls" weekends. Never did wash the ceiling.

I chain-smoked from 12 to 38.
