HELP I Can Not Get It Clean!!!
I moved in with my husband almost 5 years ago. He had owned his house for almost 10 years and it was the standard bachlor pad. Before he owned it his parents did and they never cleaned very well. Now I am running into the issue of stilltrying to scrape years of dirt off cabinets and walls. I have 2 little boys and Idon't want them to think it is ok to live in a dirty house. I have tried for years to get he build up greese off the waals in the kitchen. I have tried every product I can think of even straight bleach. NOTHING has worked I am turning to you guys as a last resort before I give up and tell my husband we have to tear down the house because I can't take it any more!!!!! LOL. PLEASE help!!!!

Those microfiber cloths...Scotch makes them...they are washable and reusable. I buy a pack of 25 at Sam's for about $10. They are WONDERFUL for cleaning. I would make up a good strong cleaning solution (like water with pinesol or water with Dawn dish detergent) and try washing with that. Dawn cuts grease really well and the microfiber cloth has little nylon loops that act like little blades to scrape off built-up stuff. They are WONDERFUL...
Another thing- if it's really thick, you could try one of those scrapers from Pampered chef for cleaning off crud on the stone bakeware. It looks sort of like a plastic disk...try softening it with dawn solution and then see if scraping with the plastic scraper helps.
It's probably going to be a several step process. Don't get disheartened...it will get better.
If the paint surface is really solid, you might try those green scrubbies (or yellow or white scrubbies are not as harsh) and see if mildly rubbing with that helps.
Good Luck!

Try Crud Cutter. I believe its sold in hardware stores maybe Walmart. My grandma is a chain smoker and this stuff removed years of tar.

This might sound weird, but magic eraser takes EVERYTHING OUT! Just give it a try! My daughter had perminent marker on our granite countertops and nothing but the magic eraser would take it off! It's worked great on soap scum etc. Just keep it away from the kids, i'm not sure what the chemical is in it, but it works wonders.

TSP is really powerful-- i used it to get really toxic smoke out of clothing from a house fire.
just be VERY careful not to get it on your skin. it's dangerous.
have you tried oxy clean? or powdered cleanser with a scrubbing sponge? i've found that the powder can clean a lot of stuff that spray cleaners can't.
