One must use whatever possible to clean for Passover. The Halacha (law) is that anything is considered chametzas long as it is suitable to eat for a dog. Bleach is a strong enough substance that it makes any food it comes in contact with to no longer be suitable for a dog, thus many people use it to wipe down chairs, tables and floors.

Until what time can one eat chametz in Jerusalem?
Chametz can be eaten in Jerusalem until the morning before Passover and cannot be eaten again until the end of the Passover season. The exact time until when chametz can be eaten is publicized locally in Jewish communities. Some religious Jews burn or destroy any chametz they have in preparation for Passover.
Why do Jewish people spring clean on Passover?
The intensive cleaning, which may take a week or more, that can be found in progress in most Jewish homes prior to Passover is intended to ensure that the home is entirely free of any traces of chametz - that is, any food liable to contravene the Talmudic definition of the Five Grains (wheat, spelt, barley, oats and rye) which must be avoided during the holiday. Not only are we forbidden to eat them, we must also not benefit from them in any way or even own them. The punishment for doing so is karet, spiritual excision.Although the hunt for chametz is the main reason, people also use the event as an opportunity to give their home a really good spring cleaning and will usually clean places such as the corners of ceilings where chametz is not present too.Some Jews, in keeping with older tradition, make sure that there is literally no chametz in the home. In modern times, it has become common to designate a set-aside room or cupboard into which the chametz is placed before being sold to a rabbi who will then sell it on to a gentile. Ownership then reverts to the homeowner following the holiday.
Why do you remove chametz on Passover?
Like most religious traditions, removing Chametz before Passover is symbolic and relates to the same reason that Jews do not eat Chametz, or leavened food products, during passover. When the Jews split from Egypt, they were in a bit of a hurry. Without time to prepare, legend has it that they could only make the most basic of breads, without allowing the bread time to rise. Essentially, they at Matzo. In commemoration of their plight, and in celebration of their freedom, Jews eat matzo during Passover as a way of joining their ancestors both for the joy of freedom, the sadness at the losses of the Egyptians, and the pain at the conditions of the departure. Removing the leavened food products, most notably bread, is similar to the way that the fleeing Jews left behind many of the things they enjoyed, including such foods.
What can a guest bring to a Passover dinner?
A guest can bring anything that is not Chametz; meaning that if something is food or drink it needs to have a reliable "Kosher for Passover" certification. A Kosher for Passover bottle of wine is appropriate if you can be sure it has a reliable Kosher for Passover certification. Food is tricky as some Kosher for Passover foods may be considered "not Kosher for Passover" by certain families, depending on their ingredients. Flowers may be frowned upon by certain hosts, as some have the custom of not putting flowers on a Passover table. Non-edibles (like tablecloths, clocks, glasses, vases, books and picture frames) are popular. Toys that are battery operated need to be given before the holiday starts; before sunset. Writing instruments and gift vouchers also need to be given before the Holiday starts.
