More than 50%. You have 2/3 to 3/4 of their life remaining there, depends on how close to zero you run them before replacement.

As I said before, I dont use the brakes a lot, I just drive to school.

That means nothing. You might only drive 4 miles each way, but make 20 stops in the process. That's a lot of use.

Highway miles are easy on brakes, you could go a few hundred miles at a time without ever touching the brakes.
I just did a brake job on a 07 Civic hybrid, 120k on it, first set of front brakes. Almost all highway miles.

I guess, firestone offers free brake inspection so I can have them check the brake pads.

There's a hefty cost to that cheap (free) price.
You will not get out of there for free. (As already suggested in another response.)
Avoid chain stores like the plague.
Avoid any store that has "brake" in their name.

I can see them telling you
ZOMG IT ONLY HAS 8/32" LEFT!!!1! PANIC PANIC PANIC
scare tactics. If they even measure or mention it at all. I doubt they do.
The measurement alone means nothing without reference.

Find the person that is honest enough to tell you the truth, and stick with them.

Don't bounce around to different shops like a pinball.

Are the brake cleaners useful to clean the dust? if so I can get one and clean it regularly.

Off of the wheels?
No.
Soap and water, and a scrub brush.
You can get wheel cleaners that work well too.

I am assuming that since the weather is quite humid in Miami, the brakes makes noise in first stops until the surface of the rotors get cleaned.

Yup. Humidity and moisture causes rust. You also have salt down there, that makes it worse.

If you have real squeaks and squeals, you probably already have aftermarket brake pads on it. (The cheaper they were, the shorter their life is.)
If you just have grinding after it sits for a day or two, there isn't a darn thing that will stop it.
