Recommendations for cleaning products...
Anyone have suggestions on what i should purchase(or even home remedies) to clean my ceramic floor tiles with? Also, how about the faucets around my house? I've been using my swisher duster to dust around the house...do the spray ones actually last longer from keeping dust to settle? Thanks.

Use a ceramic tile cleaner and sealer on the floor tiles.

BTW, the Simple Green is diluted... not full strength.

I use swifter mop / duster for every day maintenance.
On greasy area around fridge, stove, DW, sink & trash cabinet... I pre-treat it with lysol multi-surface/fantastik/windex vinegar multi-purpose spray... leave for 10 mins... mop using regular swifter mop cloth... weekly.
Diluted CLR / Simple green to pre-treat tiles if it gets that bad.
I love lysol (multi-surface, lemon or ocean breeze.... love the ocean breeze smell after cleaning & sanitizing the bath & kitchen, hence my fav.) products also because it is quite budget friendly. I clean alot... so go through supplies quite often.
Use scotchbrite scrub sponge for max... clean too... helps more than just papertoweling stuff.
Old newspaper works awesome for glass surfaces after that windex = old home tip.

My mother in law recently gave us a tip she came across in regards to cleaning the bathrooms and whatnot. She said to just fill a sink with pine-sole and use that to clean everything. We tried it and loved it!
