Cleaning Painted Walls

My walls are staining, as the windows are not always kept open in the apartment. How do I clean up the walls which are painted with a water based paint and get rid of all the black marks on it?

I HAVE TEXTURED WALLS IN MY HOME THAT MY DOG USES AS A SCRATCH POST LEAVING ALL THE DIRT AND OIL FROM HIS FUR BEHIND. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO CLEAN THIS WITHOUT REMOVING THE TEXTURE?

The black marks on your wall could be mold. Try using some bleach mixed with water in a spray bottle to kill the mold first and then repaint with paint used to kill mold.

If you can get it - use Mr. Clean's Magic eraser cleaning pad - they are great for walls.

Use a product called "TSP" it can be found in most
hardware stores. Great for dirt and grease.
It is a granule that you mix with water.
