If not, move your furniture out of the way so that it won't get paint on it during the painting process. Put plastic or a drop cloth down on the floor to catch any paint drips, making sure it goes all the way to the wall's edge. If necessary, put painter's tape on any edges that you don't wish to be painted. Paint fumes can be very over-powering and aren't super healthy to breathe in, so make sure your room has access to fresh air. Turn on a fan, open a door, or push open the windows to make sure the room is ventilated and air isn't stagnant.

If the nicotine stains are on wallpaper, you'll need to remove the wallpaper before painting. Use a scoring tool to create holes in the wallpaper before spraying the wallpaper with a spray bottle full of water to dampen the paper. Then you'll be able to scrape the wallpaper off using a plastic putty knife. After you've opened your primer or final paint color, use a mixing tool, such as a wooden mixing stick, to mix up the paint. Swirl the paint around carefully and slowly so that nothing splatters. If you're using a roller, set up the tray that the roller will go in, pouring in just enough paint to cover your roller completely.

To make sure your walls remain stain-free, it's best to apply an odor-blocking primer before painting your walls the desired color. The primer will help prevent stains from leaking through, as well as any bad smells. You can find an odor-blocking primer at a home improvement store or online, and 1 gallon (3.8L) typically costs $15-40. Try to avoid using a primer that's water-based. The water lets stains soak through more easily. Once the primer is dry, you can start painting using your desired interior paint color. If your stains didn't come off the wall very well due to being so soaked through, you may have to paint several layers of normal paint. It's recommended that you paint at least 2 coats, letting each coat dry first before continuing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your footgear can either aid your quest for becoming stealthy or be a dead giveaway of your presence, every time. You need to choose the proper footgear for the environment in when you'll be moving. Practice walking and running in your chosen footgear often, so you'll get used to the tiny noises it makes. If you're in a house, it's best to wear socks, as they are soft, and they are comfortably fitting. Going barefoot is also a good option, unless the floors are wood. Depending on your natural tendencies, sweat and excess moisture may cause you to slightly stick to the floor. This doesn't hinder your pace, however if it is dead quiet, like the middle of the night, and a target is near, the tiny 'schluk' noises your foot may make can be very detrimental. Wearing socks is nearly always your best bet indoors. Carry your shoes with you and put them on when you're clear of the house. If you're in a place with lots of grass or leaves, use socks or go with bare feet, carrying your shoes, however be wary about going barefoot in an area containing many rocks, glass/bottles, or patches of spiny plants. The last thing you want is a bleeding or painful foot while trying to sneak away. You could also wear toe shoes or water shoes, but be careful: if these types of shoes get soaked, they can emit a "squish" sound as your foot hits the ground. To cross a rocky place (pebbles, gravel, etc.), you must use a pair of thick socks or bare feet. Soft socks and bare feet cushion the impact, but shoes will push the stones down and out, making the sound of rocks moving. For walking in a mixed environment, like a suburban street with a road, gravel, and grass, wear running shoes with soft, flexible soles. Be careful not to walk flat-footed with these shoes. The clothing you choose should match the colors of the terrain you'll be crossing, and the time of day should also be taken into account. Wear darker colors at night, and earth tones during the day. Choose fabrics that are comfortable and don't make swishy sounds. Cotton is always a good choice, and soft polyester fabrics also work well. If you're walking around at night in a city, tight black clothing will do. If you're in a natural area (a field or forest) wear loose clothing to distort and break up the human figure. Wear dark browns and greens instead of black, because black stands out. Don't wear anything that will reflect light. Remove shiny jewelry, and try wearing contacts instead of eyeglasses. Try not to wear heavy gear. All it will do is fatigue you and make it harder to move. This will also make more noise. Night vision or infrared goggles are useful for helping you see in the dark. Binoculars may also be useful if you need to see objects that are far away.
Summary:
Choose stealthy footgear. Wear clothing that camouflages you. Consider investing in some eye gear.
