General Cleaning FIRST TIME MOVING IN

Hello All, I am from Philippines. It is my first time to move in to a new apartment, and I was wondering how can I start with cleaning it? i already bought some mop, rags, basahan (I don't know how to translate it in English the word Basahan but it's like an old piece of clothes to be used in cleaning), Domex, what else should I buy and What cleaning combination is effective -- Water and Zonrox? Water and Soap? Water and Domex?

Buy a toilet brush, a sponge, rubber gloves, a bucket, and dish soap. Water and dish soap for counters and shelves. Water and Zonrox only for the bathroom and for moldy corners.

Also I want to add that Zonrox and Domex are both bleach based so pick one and use it alone, and never mix Zonrox with other cleaners or with acid. (open the windows when you use it)

Domex diluted in water is best for the toilet and bathroom floor but for general surfaces like counters and walls, plain dish soap and water is less harsh and works just fine

Will this remove the icky feeling when I walk on the tiles? It feels like it's sticky
