Title: Soba soot
Post by: BernieTeyze on March 30, 2017, 17:59:31 PM

Soba is  sold..good riddance. Cost me a fortune in wood. Now going to cost me more. The soot/smoke damage is all over the ceiling and walls. I've been trying to clean it  for two days. Poxy cleaner, General and degreaser. Jiff kitchen cleaner, hot fairy liquid water. 2 buckets and sponges one to wash one to rinse, and the steam cleaner.
I am at a loss what to do to get it clean. This is a rental place too. Gonna get stung for a paint job.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Paint job may be most effective - although soot has a habit of bleeding through fresh paint, so a base coat of stain block probably best.

   For light coloured walls and ceilings I use white Undercoat paint, ( oil based, not emulsion ) You can thin it very slightly with Turps,White spirit,

   it   makes it easier to use with a smooth roller. Leave it to dry well then paint with emulsion. Far cheaper than stain blockers.

Go to B.&.Q in Fethiye.  The big D.I.Y shop, they have lots of paint and also have English speaking staff.

  There is a good paint shop on the right hand side going down into Fethiye on the one way. I think it's after the Dalaman road.

  They just do painting goods and have the latest colour matching machines.
