Our eyes adjust to brightness automatically. I don't think I'd want to spend a lot of time in an all white room, though.
From a design perspective, though, I recommend toning down either the wall color or tile color. If the room has already been built, it will be much easier to change the wall color than the tile.
Even using an off-white or light tan on the walls would make a world of difference.
The White House receives approximately 6,000 visitors a day and has 6 floors (two are basements), 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, 147 windows, 412 doors, 12 chimneys, 3 elevators, and 7 staircases. It takes 570 gallons of white paint to cover the outside.

The living quarters of the White House are located on the second and third floors of the main residence. They include the family's private living spaces, such as bedrooms, sitting rooms, and the First Family's private quarters.
What you use to wash white floors depends on the material. If your floors are tile, you can use something abrasive to clean them.

Greek houses were typically made of mud-brick or stone, with tiled roofs. The walls were often plastered and painted white. Wealthier Greeks used marble or limestone for construction, while simpler buildings were made with sun-dried bricks.
That depends on how you define "public". None of the White House is really "public" in the sense "anybody can go there at any time". Most of the "private" rooms (bedrooms, living rooms, family dining rooms) are on the second and third floor. There's a "family dining room" on the first floor also, but it's really for small formal dinners and as an overflow/staging area for state dinners; the family normally eats on the second or third floor.Nearly all the rooms where anyone who isn't the President, the President's family, their invited personal guests, or an employee of the White House would ever be are on the ground or first floors. There are also two sub-basements, but those are pretty much "employees only" (it's mainly service equipment and storage).
