My elderly Mom has decided to sell her house, and move. I'm trying to help her clean it out and up. Her formerly white fridge door is mostly yellow--probably from heavy smoking and perhaps oil heat (I know it's not cooking oil, as she lives alone, and doesn't do much frying). Also, her wall paneling is nearly as bad. It's a printed, kinda faux wallpaper printed kind of paneling (think "wood" paneling without the "woodgrain", but a floral print). Can anyone tell me how remove the discoloring (it's REALLY gross!). Also, how do I remove the smoke smell, if that's possible?
Also, her cat likes to drag her poopy butt on the carpet--which has left brown (yuck) streaks. Has anyone had experience with removing these?
Frankly, I think someone's going to buy the house only for the land, and knock it down, as it's so old and nasty; but I'd still like to freshen it up before showing it, even if Mom doesn't care to! I just can't stand to look at it!
Thanks!
