Check the humidity level. It should be about 40%, if its higher than that it can lead to mold and mildew. Scrub the walls with a bleach solution, and if your humidity is too high look into an exhaust fan or dehumidifier.
Spray the walls with bleach water. I would also run a dehumidifier.

If it's mildew or mold you have a moisture problem. Water leak behind walls, inadequate ventilation. Cleaning is only temporary. You have to determine the source of moisture.

Do you have bad windows, or somewhere humid air can get in? Maybe bad ventilation in the bathroom, etc. That's contributes to the humidity level?
