If you have flat white painted walls you can use ajacks or comic scorring powder on a light colered damp rag and rub lightly I used TSP. You by it at home improvement centers in paint dept. Make sure to get the powder type. The liquid doesn't work that well. You will also need rubber gloves and a sponge. It makes all dirt and grime just wipe off. Try a little spot someplace first but I had no problems except I had to rinse the walls to ensure all crud was gone.Didn't hurt finish at all. Also works wonders on doors. Again, Make sure to wear gloves! Use a "baby" sponge - it won't take the paint off like a domestic sponge will.

My landlord just painted my interior doors with white oil based paint doesnt match the walls. Can I paint over them with latex paint?
NO, latex paint does not adhere to oil. It wil go on, but the first time you brush up against it the top coat will start to crack and peel and just generally look terrible. If you wish to change the colour, a coat of oil paint is the thing.
Can I rehydrate dried paint?
You can rehydrate paint, typically with a paint thinner. However, I do not recommend it. If a paint is rehydrated, there is a color change and even though it may be minimal it is still noticeable if you are doing touch up work, etc. The best thing to do would be to take a paint chip (simply remove it from an existing painted wall/furniture piece) into a local supplier and have them match it.
