My suggestion is to do the same thing as people used to do 50 years ago, 100 years ago and even more years ago than that; and that is to wash the walls (a simple vinegar and water or soap and water solution with a rag) every month or so. The cleaning was much worse way back then when it was wood or coal for heating than gas is so count yourself lucky. ;-)
