Nicotine sent me home sick.

Just spent 4 hours doing interior windows. Not done for over ten years an they both chain smoke. Clothes an even my hand is yellow. Felling ruff trying not to throw up so calling it a day.

Each to their own, but personally, no matter the earning potential on that job, I would of had two words.... no thanks 

I use to clean the windows on pubs before the smoking ban grim to say the least so I feel your pain.

I wouldn't do it now.

@Eddie dragon if you still feeling rough have something sugary- the best thing is a straight table spoon of sugar , My BOTL tell me it helps curb the nicotine hangover .

was it running a nice yellowy brown as you bladed the windows? yuuuuukkkk!

Always been a non smoker, so understand  totally.....couldn,t do that job if asked.....would probably retch.

Should always wear gloves on a job like that. Nicotine will enter your system through your skin

I did one last year. Her conservatory was her smoking room.

If she wasn't such a beautiful woman, I think I'd of turned it down too )

Proper fit bit.

Anyway, sprayed it all up with Ubik, and came off like a dream. It looked brand new again, and she was soooo chuffed that she gave me a bj. I wish! lol I'm done with Fila & Tacchini now :-/ Oh dear...

I got nicotine poisoning doing a yellow interior  for a customer trying to sell her house.  

I ended up so rough I was off for a week.  

Been asked twice for similar jobs since and turned both down. 

I do a few, if they bad I have nitrile gloves in car, im an ex smoker so probably doesn't bother me as much. I then to spray a little degreaser on window then trad as normal, comes straight off, write off the sleeve for the day tho.

Gloves are a must with nicotine. It's horrible stuff, but ubik makes short work of it. Charge high.

Definitely messed up on that one. Even as a smoker I felt ruff all day. Missed two secondary glassing units when pricing. Totally failed to notice state of insides. On a better note got a email yesterday saying how good they look, an now after reqular service.
