for crayon and marks that don't come off with a damp cloth i use mr. clean magic erasers. other wise i use a wash cloth, and pine-sol water and just rub down the walls.
flat paints are stained and need to be repainted. gloss and semi gloss paints can be wiped with a damp cloth. however, some of the areas may need to be touched up with paint.
Depends on the paint. Most paints are washable, can use just about everything. If not try using Dawn the dish soap.
I use Mr. Cleans' Magic Eraser ....works wonders.
