Cameo Cleaner. It works super on all your pots and pans and makes them super shiny!
Invite Mom and Dad over! No matter what, she FINDS stuff to clean! Oh man. Ok that's cheating.
My carpet steam cleaner. It was a hefty $250 or so, but when I spilled red wine, it saved me. When I spilled Tang, it saved me. Well, there's no way I could have gotten as much wine out of the carpet as it did. It still looks like I butchered a small animal on my coffee table, but it's not as bad as it would have been otherwise!!!!!!
It just keeps my carpets looking spiffy and my couch, too!
I just finally discovered the Magic Eraser and WOW, it's my newest favorite cleaning tool!
@BridetoBee2010: Where do you find Cameo Cleaner?
Anyone know how to get rid of the mildew in the grout in my shower? :)
Spot Shot! Hubby bought a bunch of that stuff at Costco and that stuff took out some really bad carpet stains from our front door entryway carpet that I couldn't get out with a steam cleaner! It was amazing!
@august15bride: have you tried Tilex or Clorox mildew remover? those always worked great for me.
Always keep antiseptic wipes around (Mr. Clean are the best -- strong, they have grooves for scrubbing and they smell great).
They are lifesavers when you get a call that "we're in the neighborhood, thought we'd swing by and say hello!" and you need to spiff up your place QUICKLY. 
Just. Do. It. I sound like a Nike ad, but for me, this is necessary advice. I'm not typically a girl that likes to clean (my house that is- at work is was never a problem). I have good intentions, but I tend to take EVERYTHING off of a bookshelf or out of a closet b/c I figure if I'm going to clean it, I'm going to really clean it. Then I get bored or distracted half-way through and leave a bigger mess or put myself in a bad mood b/c it takes three times as long as it needed to. It's so nice when it's done though!
@Erindesmar: You sound like my fiance. I prefer to let it all pile up around me and then clean it all up at once. :)
For "spring cleaning" (or unpacking after moving), pick one room to tackle at a time - for a week, let's say. Otherwise, it'll be overwhelming. But one room at a time seems manageable.

Wine. My favorite cleaning tip is a glass of wine to get you through it. And to invite people over because then there's a deadline and you HAVE to get it all done.
@Sparkle - I love your tip! Hehe I am SO not a good cleaner, my fiance is much better and more organized than me (though personally I think it's only because he has been forced to be that way by the Army 
)
vinegar. it's awesome for lots of things...such as fabric softner. yup...fabric softner. it's cheap and eco-friendly (for the environment and your well-being). and i agree with erindesmar.....do something everyday. for toilet bowls, you don't need any fancy stuff....good old bleach will do the trick.

haha I wait for friday. our housekeeper comes for 4 hours on friday! :)
One "perk" to living as an expat in chile - it only costs me $2 an hour for housekeeping!
Don't wear reading glasses when you clean or you will go mad.
My favorite cleaners are all made by Zep - available at Home Depot. Their orange degreaser straight is tuff enough to clean a dirty oven, diluted, it will clean anything from counters to floors. I have yet to find a carpet cleaner that works better than Zep. ALL Zep products kick butt! A little pricey but very concentrated.
