For white walls, I use bleach in water and a rag. You will literally see the tar run off the walls.

Hello, I'm new and I saw your post.
I use the new Mr Clean Magic Erasor sponges.
It's white and you just wet it down with water. It works like magic. However they do wear out pretty fast.
I also agree that TSP is a good product.

I use a wet swiffer. There is no mess and it smells good.

After trying different products, I have gone back to the one from my early years of marriage, Mr. Clean. I use it on the woodwork, walls, in my mop water, in the showers, etc. I use it for practically everything. I dilute it with water using a very small amount of Mr. Clean.

I use a spray bottle. I use a solution of 2 tbs of alcohol(this helps the walls dry faster) then half water, half vinegar. I wipe the walls with a damp sponge, then mist the walls with the vinegar solution. Then wipe again with the sponge. I keep the sponge rinsed out and damp only. It may seem like double work to wipe first but if your walls are really dusty you could get rivers of dirt if you don't wipe first. I use this solution on all my walls, they vary from painted, papered and wood. Good luck.
