Okay, here is ur solution. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. Trust me, they  
really are MAGIC. You wet them, squeeze them out really well, & then wipe  
all the dust away, they also remove scuffs, toolmarks, crayon,  
fingerprints, etc. They can be reused a bunch of times, but eventually  
wear out, so use another until ur cleanup is finished. I hear that they  
make a mop too, but have yet to try it. These things look useless, but  
they remove everything from top to bottom: sheetrock, moldings, any kind  
of surface..and absolutely no damage to paint or finish. No cleanser is  
necessary, only dampen & rinse often.

The painters should have left your house clean.

Pursue them for a proper cleanup.

However, its to get them back - they may not come back even though liable.

Contact your authority in your area for this sort of thing & report the  
painters.  
Tell everybody you know not to use them & why - (pictures).

Vacuum ur furniture & the floors several times. Use a lightly dampened mop  
to clean ur hardwood floors.Murphy is Oil Soap can be used on wood floors  
for grime. Rinse the mop in plenty of CLEAN water repeatedly!  
This will require a lot of hard work ,but not a lot of money.  
Good Luck
