Our apartment has been smoked in for 15 years. All walls were originally painted white, but now are a lovely shade of yellow/brown. We decided to stop smoking (yay us!), so now I have begun the arduous task of cleaning walls. I've tried many of the tips here. Great tips all, however, none quite up to the challenge.
Last week, I spilled some Dr. Bronner's almond castile soap on my grill. The grease disappeared completely when I wiped it off! Today, I tackled the smallest room. I put the castile soap directly on a Dobie, scrubbed the wall, wiped it with a hot damp microfiber and voila! Came. Right. Off!
I didn't even wear gloves, and the smell is fantastic! Next comes the fresh paint! Hope this helps someone. I love this site :)

Where do you purchase this soap?
I've had the same task in my ex-chain smoking aunt's bathroom - I found that Wilko's antiseptic floor wipes, which come in Lemon and Lavender fragrances, did the job nicely. And they were half price and 50p a pack!
You are a goddess!!! Thank you for the Castile soap suggestion!!! So much easier!!
Love it best cleaner I ever used. I have copd and had not problems breathing Amazon has it.
A SPONGE MOP IS IDEAL FOR WASHING WALLS. BE SURE THERE IS NO DRIPPING WATER, OF COURSE. THIS WORKED WELL ON OFFICE PANELING, USING SPIC AND SPAN AND NO RINSE.
thank you! I love Dr bonners, too. Can't wait to try this out!
Dobie?? = spunge?
Yes, it is a scrubbing pad by Scotch Brite. Here is a link:
