Cleaning products I suggest.
These are ONLY recommendations, I cannot be responsible if you destroy your tiles.
 
Lysol

I like to clean a set when it first arrives, Lysol helps eliminate odors and kill Mold and Mildew.

I even wipe the case down  (including fabric lining), to help with the odors and any mildew issues.

Below are quotes from the manufacturer.

     •  Kills 99.9% of Viruses and Bacteria*
     • Kills Cold and Flu Viruses including Pandemic 2009 H1N1 Influenza A
     • Removes more than 95% of allergens (Pet Dander, Dust Mite Debris and Pollen Particles)
     • Thick Strong Wipe is great for cleaning up messes
     • Available in Lemon and Lime Blossom® and Ocean Fresh™ Scent
Plastic BladesPlastic Blades
 Plastic Blades will not scratch your tiles, they are a necessity for cleaning off layers of old stickers, paint and decals.  I now sell these either with a holder or just blades.  Click here for more information.

Fantastik

"oxy power"Fantastik

 This is a great product for wiping the everyday grime from sets.  I never spray it directly on the tiles.  I spray a paper towel and use it to wipe the tiles. The same method works great for wiping out those smelly cases.  After using take a damp (with water) paper towel to wipe again to remove any residue from the cleaner.
Goo GoneGooGone
 This works well to remove very sticky stuff like Band-Aid, masking tape, scotch tape, and even duct tape.
ZymolZymol

Zymol is the ONLY polish and cleaner I recommend. It smells nice (coconut), and it makes your tiles and racks shine like new. It's a cleaner and polish.

I take a old cloth (t-shirt), put the polish on it and then rub the tile (one at a time) and being careful not to get it into the grooves. Let it dry then take a clean soft cloth and polish. "you will just love how they feel and look"

This is available in the automotive department of Walmart and Ace Hardware.

Non-Acetone

Nail Polish RemoverPolishRemover

Nail polish remover is the last on my list for good reason. It is very harsh and should be used with lots of caution. For example, it will burn  (darken Chinese Bakelite tiles).

I used this for the worst, like when removing paint on backs and sides. In the "olden" days, people painted the backs of tiles so different shades couldn't be detected. Remember folks, paint back then had lead in it, and it's tough to remove.  This works.   Same method, put the remover on the paper towel not on the tiles, this is so you have more control of where it's going.  Wipe with damp paper towel (water), after and dry.

Non-Acetone remover is a MUST!!
