Ceramic tile can be cleaned with about any cleaner. The thing you have to watch out for is the grout in between. You need to seal the grout at least once every 4 or 5 years. Even more often if it's a well used area. The grout can stain, discolor and even wash away completely if it's not sealed properly.

In general your favorite cleaning agent - can be a little bit ofLysol, a very small amount of soap - anything that will act as a surfactant can be added to your mop water. You could also need to use a product call a dehazer:

which can be purchased a any hardware or tile store. This product will remove the 'haze' that is left on the tile after the grouting process.

zep makes a multipurpose cleaner with citrus in it. costs about 7 bucks at homedepot and works greta on everything and is non-toxic! won't harm pets like swiffer fluid can. mix it with water as needed. i have had the same bottle for years! to get a "haze" off the tile just slide a dish cloth over the floor with your foor after it dries!
