How do you know what I will say... and especially since you haven't
tried what you claim I will say... what's wrong with you?!?!?

I wouldn't suggest ammonia in a open living space.

I haven't a clue what kind of surfaces need cleaning, until I know
precisely I have no opinion. I cleaned the windows in my office today,
used Windex commercial formula, contains vinegar... works very well,
but that's glass, don't really know what I'd suggest using to clean
grease from a painted dry wall... may need in the end to replace the
sheet rock, and then cover it with something more durable/washable than
wall paint... perhaps ceramic tile, brick, metal...
