Give your cabinets a good cleaning with an oil soap (Murphy's is
good). Keep in mind that water and wood is not a good combination,
so resist the temptation to soak the wood. Clean on top of the
cabinets too. I used to live in an apartment building with East
Indians and a common shared hallway. Nice folks, but the "fumes" in
the hallway burned my eyes during the times they cooked. TSP is a
very strong detergent--wear rubber gloves and rinse well before
painting. Kilz contains shellac and is a very good sealer. Open your
windows weather permitting. The odor will weaken over time, and not
as bad as buying a home of heavy cigarette smokers. I do not
recommend ozone generators, unless you leave your residence for a week
or two while it is running.
