I would like to know how to remove carbon from my painted kitchen walls and ceiling.

Could you explain a bit better what you mean by carbon? Are you talking about a ghosting of dark hues on your walls near the ceiling or are you talking about a stain of carbon like from carbon paper? This will help in determining your solution. Thanks.
