    You need a strong alkaline detergent. I always use 'Janitol' which is available at most Janitorial Suppliers (Yellow Pages). The best way to clean walls is from the bottom up. I know it sounds odd but if you start at the top the detergent carries dirt onto the remainder of the wall which will almost certainly leave permanent streaks. You can rinse off from the top.

    Wipe off with a damp cloth, if that fails repaint.=)
