It's just a microfibre cloth. Walls aren't heavily soils but a bit of nicotine yellowing. It's a flat so no idea of history. But at my parents I just sugar soaped and painted and then very mildly cleaned themy 3 or 4 years later and they still look fresh.
Just baffled that the paint seems to be coming off. Probably just painted it with out prepping ithe I guess

+1 for magic sponge.
Agree with a magic sponge or magic eraser. Google either of these phrases and it will show in Amazon or eBay etc. They are not always sold in supermarkets (well I can never find them!)
Home Bargains stock them I think. It will remove marks such as scuffs etc. Also great for getting rid of tea/coffee stains from mugs (if you don't have a dishwasher). Very handy to have some as they work really well cleaning marks from stuff.
If you use a damp microfibre, lights and sunlight will show where you have scrubbed - it will look horrible in a certain light. Had this issue myself so had to redo the whole wall.

Just a regular washing up sponge but you need to shout abracadabra while scrubbing
If the paint is coming off then I would class it as a dodgy surface and stabilise it instead of cleaning it, then just paint over it.
