Anyone in the house a smoker? Smoke in the house? Any one with a previous owner's family smoke in the house? What you describe sounds like nicotine on the walls being washed off from extremely high humidity. Get an inexpensive humidity meter (about ten bucks) at a discount department store and measure the humidity. I'll bet it is close to 90% in the vicinity of where this is occurring.
