Tsp and a sponge mop. My dad smoked like a chimney..had to wash all the walls to get his deposit back from his apartment. Wear gloves when dealing with the cigarette residue.
Hi, Do you know how thick the paint layer is? If the paint layer is thin, too much scrubbing might go through to the sheet rock. If this is a rental, you sure don't want to do that. I would try a Mr. Clean sponge to start with and see how that does. If that doesn't work then you could go with something a little stronger. I would also recommend that what ever cleaner you try, use it in an unconspicuous area such behind a door first and let it dry to make sure you are not causing any damage. Remember easy does it on the scrubbing unless you want to guarantee yourself a paint job.
Wash first with vinegar and water. Use a clean sponge mop and make sure it is not too wet so it does not destory sheetrock. Then let dry over night. For added protection, paint over with KILZ which will get rid of any stubborn stains and then paint walls your favorite color.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Vinegar! If really bad you might need to use TSP.
