Depends on how long it's been on for and the type of surface, i've succesfully removed it with just tfr and a wash off but that was on a painted/rendered wall

a very good alkaline cleaner will remove smoke stain. Some janitorial supply house who sell PROCHEM or CHEMSPEC EUROPE products sell smoke cleaning products.

Makes me laugh when people on here bang out these fancy names for cleaning the simplest things. Fancy named fancy packaging overpriced hype.

1 litre of HF + splash of degreaser + 10 litres of water, knocked up in a bucket at a cost of roughly £3.50. Then sheeting and taping window, couple of quids worth of sheet and tape. Applied with a car brush, left on for approx 1 minute, wash off. That's the summary for this job here that we got £200 for.

Not sure what is fancy about UP renovate it is a standard solution for removing soot and smoke from hard and soft surfaces alike.

You don't need to 'sheet up' and it is relatively cheap and easily sourced.

Mix your own solutions if you like but good luck getting a coshh sheet past the H&S people. I'd rather save the sheeting time and hassle. For the sake of a few quid.

You are Marble Restorers???  How Long have you been doing it?  What is your real name, address and website?

Let me clear a few points up for you so you know who exactly I am:

1.   I run the largest Stone Restoration company in the UK to my knowledge.  Marble Life Ltd
2.   I have the only fully dedicated stone restoration supply warehouse in the UK as well as four online shops and over 800 trade accounts.
3.   I offer free advice to anyone whether they purchase or not.
4.   I run  courses on a regular basis teaching people how to do specialist cleaning, sealing and restoration.
5.   Finally:

I initially trained in the UK learning to restore stone under a specialist
I then moved to Italy for two months and was taught by a stone restorer with over 35 years experience.
I then went to a stone restoration specialist in California for 6 weeks.
Finally I did an advanced stone restoration course with Maurizio Bertolli in Philadelphia

In between all this we have restored hundreds of floors in this Country and Europe for many blue chip companies and many famous customers.

In addition I have done two courses with Klindex, Aqua Mix Applicator Course, Aqua Seal Course as well as being an IICRC Qualified Water Restoration Technician,  Applied Structural Drying Specialist and  BSI Slip Tester.  I am also a consultant floor specialist to one of the most famous stores in this Country as well as a paid up member of two professional bodies.

Marblelife is a US Company that franchises out you are spot on mate.  I called Marblelife in the US and asked them if they had any franchises here in the UK and they told me they have only one and that is in Ireland.  I already knew this but just wanted to check.  Their last Franchisee in the UK emigrated to Australia over 5 years ago this I know because I took all his contracts over.

That is such a blag lol


there are many companies much much larger that have far more experience in the industry but they dont blag about it ....



You mean brag not blag.

You don't see other bragging because they most probably have nothing worth bragging about.
