I have found a combination of powder laundry detergent and baking soda work the best. Half a scoop of laundry detergent and a teaspoon of baking soda to a gallon of water, and you have yourself a crazy powerful tool. Wonderful for cleaning greasy fingerprints on walls, moldy corners of old refrigerators, mold-infested bathroom ceilings, hopelessly filthy floors, dirt-stained surfaces, stained concrete, and even your everyday stuff like mopping floors and cleaning bathtubs. If you're working with white surfaces, add a teaspoon of bleach and you have yourself a shiney home.
The best degreaser that I have come across is Zep's Big Orange industrial degreaser. Works great watered down for nearly every household use. I rarely use it full-strength. It works wonders on years-old grease buildup behind the stove from a previous tenant's deep frying habits, barbecue grills, and even bike chains (follow up with white lightning self-cleaning lube for a smooth ride).
