I cleaned my painted walls with a few drops of mild dish washing liquid, vinegar and warm water. My walls look streaked now. How can I fix this?

I would wash them down again using just clean water to see if that helps. Perhaps you still have some soap residue.
Hate to say this but it sounds like some of the paint was removed and that means repainting. For future reference try using a Magic Eraser and be gentle. Our walls are a satin finish and seem to hold up a little more to cleaning.
I wouldn't use dish soap to wash the walls it sounds like that in combination with the vinegar could have eaten away at the paint. Definitely try just using water.
