Best tile cleaner?
Aside from the usual suspects (Tilex, Scrubbing Bubbles, etc.) anyone have any good recs for a killer tile cleaner? Our bathroom floor tiles are dingy as hell, and I'd like to bring a little sparkle back to them. Homemade solutions welcome as well!
Thanks!

Ecover bleach (it comes in a box and is also great for keeping whites white) was very useful when I was on my hands knees scrubbing our old brownstone rental kitchen floor. Baking soda and lemon can be really good, too.

Home Depot sells a heavy duty mold and mildew product by "Zep" -- toxic as hell, but it really, really works on tile mildew. Turned my grimy grout from brown to white with minimal scrubbing. Pick up a mask and goggles when you get it, lest you degrease your lungs in the process.

for the first go-round, i would suggest hiring stanley steemer to steam clean them -it'll save you time and energy -they are surprisingly inexpensive. as a diy remedy, pine sol and warm water scrubbed with a tile and grout brush, and rinsed with a clean cotton mop works wonders. on really tough spots, a product called dirtex works well, although the fumes are v. strong.
