I am trying to stop using any store bought cleaning products. What do you ladies recommend for tile and/or hardwood floors?

For tile is just use good old vinegar and water with a dash of washing up liquid (Hand dishwashing soap) thrown in if there is lots of dirt.

For wood floors it depends on the finish. If they are well finished and you get lots of traffic, I would cold damp mop with vinegar and water with the mop/rag wrung as dry a can be. You can always use a slightly wetter mop for the sticky spots but you don't want to get any finish too damp.
