<div dir="ltr">Sorry about the damage Pat.  My friend had a similar "fart" that took out the back half of his house.  The best cleaner we used was TSP (trisodium phosphate), but it is nasty stuff, gloves, eye protection, old clothes, etc.  His wife got a less alkaline cleaner from the big box store:  <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Krud-Kutter-32-oz-Prepaint-Cleaner-TSP-Substitute-PC326/203397038">Krud Kutter</a><div>It worked ok, Simple Green also seemed to work ok, but we used the TSP for the really have stuff.  </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Ian<br><div> </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 12:29 PM, Pat Horne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:patintexas@icloud.com" target="_blank">patintexas@icloud.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">My shop wood stove farted the other night & pretty well gutted my shop. I've almost gotten it emptied out & it is repairable.<br>
<br>
What is the collective thought on cleaning stuff? I know that the smoke is acidic, so I should use something with a high ph. I found Greased Lightning works better than anything I've tried. I am thinking about refilling my parts washer w/solvent for metal stuff.<br>
<br>
The apartment on top of the shop got lots of smoke damage, so I need to clean that too.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

Peace,<br>
