How to Remove Nicotine Stains From a Shower Surround

Guide

Nicotine stains are a common problem in the homes of smokers. Nicotine from cigarette smoke can stain anything it touches--even a shower surround.

Smoking in your home can lead to nicotine stains.

These grease-like stains are fairly easy to remove, but since shower surrounds are made from a number of different materials, you may have to try multiple grease fighters to find one that works for you. Scrub away nicotine stains at least once a year to prevent permanent damage.

Tip

Before you purchase a de-greaser, read the bottle to make sure it is safe to use on the material your shower surround is composed of.

  • Pour lemon juice or vinegar into a spray bottle and spray the walls. Allow the lemon juice or vinegar to soak for five minutes. Scrub the stains away with a rag. Then rinse the shower surround with water.
