A dash of ammonia in warm water shifts grease and stains - wear gloves and don't have the water too hot or you'll choke on fumes!0

Tried a steam mop? With just hot water? Should leave the paint but loosen the grub. (I know it does the job on floors - hadn't considered walls, but maybe worth a try?)
Given the cleaning whammy of baby wipes, I'm a bit worried that we use them on babies...0 -
Thanks Seakay. That will be my plan B if the wipes don't do the trick.
I don't have a steam mop, but will see if it's worth picking one up for general cleaning anyway.DigForVictory wrote: »Given the cleaning whammy of baby wipes, I'm a bit worried that we use them on babies...
