Hi Ellen, it's always a good idea to clean anything you're going to paint. If the walls have no marks or grease and grime, a light going over with a clean broom is all that's needed. Make sure the walls are completely dry if you've used a damp mop for cleaning before starting your painting project. Good luck.
