I mostly use dish detergent, bleach, vinegar, and Fabuloso; sometimes baking soda. There's actually a book entitled: How to Clean Your Entire House with Baking Soda and Vinegar. I just don't have a copy of it. :-)
And dh likes the smell of the Fabuloso we buy. But baking soda, vinegar, and scented candles or air freshener would be cheaper.
Because of my Pulmonary issues I use white vinegar, baking soda and steam. Chemicals make me sick.

This. It cleans well & you don't have that nasty "cleaning chemical" smell.
Quoting MaddiesMama09:
Honestly, I clean my entire house with steam! I have the shark steam products that do my tile floors, hardwood floors, granite countertops, etc. always streak free and pulls up so much dirt and grime. Even my shower and tubs I clean with steam. And vinegar and baking soda.
For the tub I use Kaboom, it works GREAT! You spray it on, wait a few minutes and just wipe it down, all the soap scum and stuff comes right off! Love this stuff because cleaning the tub is one of my very least favorite chores. For the kitchen floor I just got one of the swiffer mops, LOVE this too, the liquid is already right there, no mop bucket! I just also tried those little detergent squares for the dishwasher, those work great too! I use bleach and water on alot of things like the sinks, counters, door knobs, light switches, hand rails on stairs....
