A contractor friend taught me a neat trick for cleaning white sheet rocked walls. You need a pine/green cleaner (non toxic one's do exist) and a rough sponge (often green). Spray a bit of pine cleaner on the sponge and scrub. Wala!

NOTE: the brand in this photo is not one of the non toxic brands. Whole Foods has one and there are others, look around.

It would be great if Simple Green were a less toxic alternative. Unfortunately, it contains some nasty endocrine disruptors and is also dangerous to riparian areas and wildlife as well as humans.
It scored an F from EWG:

A better choice would be vinegar or one of the more highly rated EWG options like the Whole Foods pine cleaner (gets an A).

I didnt think Simple Green was one of the good ones. Just the one I have in my house from when I worked with that carpenter. Thanks for naming the better version. I'm told all pine cleaners work for this application.
