HELP. My new house is more than half ceramic tile. What have you experts found that works best to clean it?

Ammonia and water works very well, not with a sponge mop but a cloth-like mop (sorry, don't know what they're called exactly but O-Cedar makes it). Also, I've heard, something like the Shark Steamer works well too.

Congrats!

The steamer works great. Make sure your grout is sealed.

Congratulations!

My house is all tile except 3 bedrooms and the bathrooms. It is not shiny in the least. I just run 3/4 bucket of water then pour in the recommended about of Lysol. Swirl to mix and mop with a cotton "string" mop.

The house was two years old when we moved in. The previous owner was not clean and had dogs in the house. I fixed a bucket of water with more cleaner than recommended. Then I took a long handled brush so that I didn't have to get on my hands and knees and scrubbed each and every grout line. That was after the bank that repossessed the house hired two women to clean it...it took them a solid week.
