Mudding Applying joint compound over old and dirty drywall

The previous owner of this house put drywall up but didn't mudfinish the walls. It looks like the drywall has been there for years and it's quite dirty. My question is: Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to just clean the walls off then tape and mud them up?
