Answers:
Well I can tell you tips for cleaning hotel rooms. They also work for cleaning your own home. I use them daily.
**Window cleaning:**
Windex and Rags to wipe with. Rags reduce the amount of streaks made when cleaning your windows.
Also homemade widow cleaner is easy to make.
1 cup isopropyl alcohol
1/2 cup vinegar
2 teaspoons liquid dish soap (Dawn is a good choice)
6 cups warm water
Mix ingredients in large plastic jug and shake well. Pour into plastic a spray bottle. Shake prior to each use. Clean windows and mirrors with soft cloth or newspaper. Store in cool dark place. Shelf life approximately 4-6 months. Keep out of reach of children.
**Shower Cleaning:**
There are many things to clean Showers with but this is what I use.
In a spray bottle mix 1/4 cup bleach and fill the rest of the bottle with water. Spray your shower with the mixture, wait 60 seconds. Wipe off with a Rag this reduces scratch marks.
Or you can buy Mean Green Super Strength Cleaner at any Dollar Store. You use it the same way as you would use the bleach solution. Only it comes already made.
**Toilet Cleaning:**
I use the product Mean Green to clean the porcelain on my toilet. You can also use the bleach solution I mentioned above. Mean Green and a Rag are not as harsh on your toilet as bleach.
**Coffee Pot Cleaning**
Mixture of White Vinegar and Water. Run the mixture threw your pot a few times. Then Only Water should be ran threw at least 4 times to Rinse it out.
**Dusting**
Use Spray Furniture Polish and a Rag to Wipe with. Rags don't leave streaks like Paper Towels.
**Laundry**
Stain Removal:
Hydrogen Peroxide can be used to remove Dried Blood.
Goo Gone can be used to remove Gummy,Sticky and Ink stains.

This question is too vague. Tips to clean what?
If you need to clean up quickly, gather all clutter into laundry baskets & stow them in a closet. Then vacuum & dust quickly. Wipe counters quickly with a cleaner & spray a bit of air freshener. Takes just a few minutes & ahhhh --- all appears clean!
Start at the top and work your way down. Dust before vacuuming. Instead of windex you can make your own by mixing water, vinegar, alcohol and a coupla drops of dawn dish detergent. 409 is great for anything greasy. Use rags instead of paper towels to save money. Use newspaper to clean windows, leaves no streaks but makes your hands kinda black. Change vacuum cleaner bags often. That's all I can think of.
Wear rubber gloves while cleaning as your hands can feel and smell disgusting otherwise.
