wallpapering the diningroom and kitchen

Tweet

Hi I am going to do some wallpapering and some painting in the diningroom and kitchen.I plan on painting under my cabinets and fridgerator,and down my hallway, but the rest will be done in this country berry sprig and stars wall paper,and I have a question,how would you clean your walls,or what to clean them with first before goingto work on them?I heat with electric and gas heat.So I know I have that nice yucky yellow film on the walls.I can't breath in anything with amonia in it, or bleach.Due to having chemical burns to my throat while iI cleaned for a college a few years ago.Them chemicals set my throat on fire! So what else is there to cut that film off the walls and make it ok to paper after?Hopefully some one knows what I should do or have some ideas.Thanks again everyone for all the help and nice responses to my posts in the past.Everyone have a good day or night.
