I think a good sugar soaping would be fine, but have you considered
getting a few quotes to have it done by a decorator, seeing as you
hate it so much (as I do!). Might not be as expensive as you think.
That's what I do, I found a retired P&D that likes to keep his hand
in. £60 a day plus materials.

Yup. There's no shame, even in a DIY group, paying someone to do something

Sugar soap is really designed to remove grease and other alkali soluble
gunk, and I don't think many of us live like that nowadays.
Interesting that sugar is quite a good abrasive, as is bicarbonate of
soda, but nothing IME makes the job any easier
