    Ooh baby wipes, I have some of those. I will give that a try, thank you.

    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!

    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...

    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.

    :rotfl: Yes, pretty scary. Someone I used to live with used to clean everything with them, made the kettle nice and shiny!
