What are these spots on our wood paneling walls after cleaning with TSP
We recently moved into a new home that was inhabited by a smoker for over 40 years. To remove some of the nicotine and tar on the walls, I saw that TSP was highly rated. I dissolved some in water according to the directions and sprayed some on this section of the wall. Immediately I noticed these stains on the wall. I wiped down the area with water immediately and the rags were a bright yellow/orange from what I assumed was the nicotine. Did I just accidentally destroy this wall? The other walls in this room don’t look bleached after I wiped them with the solution. Is it safe to use TSP on wood paneling walls? We really don’t want to paint them. submitted by /u/thathappyhippie [link] [comments]
