How can I clean painted walls?

We’re moving house soon and I want to clean the walls for our buyer. Toddler ds has got marks all over them. The paint we have is just standard paint so I don’t want to end up ruining the paint.

I use a microfibre cloth and warm water washing up liquid solution. The good thing about washing up liquid is that it cuts through grease very quickly but it isn't too harsh on the paint work. You can also use those magic sponges, though go easy as they can bring off the paint too if you rub too hard.

Baby wipes weirdly are also very good.

Depends on what the toddler marks consist of. I find neat ammonia on a damp cloth will get rid of most marks.

Those white sponges you get in b and m. They remove anything of the walls and are cheap.

The magic erasers are great for cleaning kitchen tiles.
