Okay I have to say this: Yes.
A few years back a couple residents had moved out of a 2 bedroom. They lived in it since it was built, 13 years. White walls, white floors, grey carpets, white cabinets, white counters, white appliances.... 13 years of three people just SMOKING and never opening windows. It took 3 coats of Kilz to block out the yellow. ANYWAY. I took a couple Magic Erasers to the fridge just to see how they'd do... my boss got mad at me because he thought I swapped out the fridge for a new one. his intent was to put a set of doors off of a cleaner fridge on it and paint the rest of it.
