White vinegar is an intelligent choice to clean a cigarette smoke stain off the ceiling or restore soot damaged walls. It is also one of the best ways to clean ghosting on a ceiling. Vinegar is an excellent cleaner.

Samples of 0.5 cm 2 were taken from both paintings by cutting the canvas with a scalpel. Each sample of around 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm was placed flat in a different stub and was subsequently mounted in the SEM holder, before being introduced into the microscope vacuum chamber. Wondering how to clean candle smoke off walls and ceilings? The best method is to use a dry cleaning sponge. These sponges lift and absorb residue. Soot can smear, so you should never use water on the walls or ceilings before using a dry cleaning sponge. Use white vinegar as an alternative. Try wiping down washable walls with white vinegar (this can also be used on furniture and floors). Vinegar, while strong smelling itself, can be used as a powerful odor-neutralizer.Most households already have dish soap, which is a strong cleaner. Dish soap effectively removes soot from a painted surface without removing paint from a ceiling or wall. It will also remove difficult grease stains from dishes because it is formulated for organic stains. Then, use a clean cloth and water to rinse the walls and ceilings, and a towel to dry the surfaces thoroughly. Morera E.

(handle colour yellow) The dry-cleaning technique with the best results is microblasting with powdered cellulose, as canvas is free of residues of particles, both from the cleaning material and from the dirt. Cleaning tests were carried out at the Conservation facilities of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona which have climate control (20–24 °C temperature and 50–60% humidity).

In the Arbocel ® cleaned sample, the dirt has mainly been evenly removed. Between the fibres, there are some traces of dirt and small deposits that, due to their appearance, seem to be traces of the canvas priming. This is also confirmed in the spectra. Fibres remain twisted and there is no significant movement. Removal of dirt particles (dark in tone) increases the visibility of the fabric’s yellowish colour. Therefore, an increase in b* (D65) in all spots after cleaning was expected. However, here as well these results may have been affected by the presence of particles erasers residues and sponges (clearly identified by optical microscopy and SEM–EDX) as all of them exhibit a yellowish tone or nuance. Therefore, the greater increase in b* (D65) after using these agents does not necessarily correlate with a greater degree of cleaning; rather, it may reflect the visual change exerted by the particles of residues of cleaning materials in the asset. Thus, spectrophotometric results must be regarded in combination with electronic microscopic data to see the whole picture. In this study, spectrophotometry provides evidence of changes in colour that occur in samples derived from the cleaning effect and the possible remaining particles of residues (both soiling and/or cleaning agents), all this has been observed before with SEM and EDX.
