How prepare sweaty/oily bedroom wall for painting?

I'm going to paint the walls in a bedroom.
One wall has got a large discoloured patch above the bed which looks as
if it's made up of something like sweat, hair oil, etc.
I would have used Sugar Soap to clean this wall but I heard that Sugar
Soap would probably cause lifting of the wallpaper which is under the
existing emulsion paint. Is this true?
Is there an alternative cleaner to Sugar Soap which I can use to
degrease this wall?
Or would I get away with a VERY light Sugar Soaping of the wall using
little water and little rinsing.
Thanks!

==================================
Try a dry solution; a warm domestic iron over a piece of thin paper. This
works for removing oily / greasy stains from clothing so it will probably
remove most if not all of the offending stain.
