a gas heater will sometimes smoke things up.
when I bought my house the renter has used a gas heater in the fireplace and I had to wash soot off all the paneling. |

If I can pull this off I will post pictures but it will take time. I've been scrubbing for nearly a month now. Hard on the old arms and shoulders. Thanks again

Another great cleaning product is Greased Lightning. Available in supermarkets, WalMart, etc and very inexpensive. Good luck with your project.

DSIL swears by some stuff sold at Dollar General. It's called Awesome. Will clean carpet & just about anything else. Too bad you couldn't host a cleaning party so we could all come & get it licked in a day.

We have always had window units in our home, and I have never had any problems.
|
I used a window air conditioner many years and it did not hurt my fabric, however we had a propane gas heater on the wall that was not vented and it turned my walls yellow and my fabric had yellow lines where the fabric was folded. We have central (electric) heat and air now and I have had to wash and iron all my stash.
|
I don't have the yellow walls or stripes on my fabric any more. It really depends on the type of gas heater you have.
