How do you keep your Amtico/LVT clean?!

We have amtico in every room of our home and for the life of me, I cannot keep it clean. The little grooves trap all the dirt and I end up having to get on my hands and knees to scrub the floors clean.

What's bizarre is that I had amtico installed in my previous home and didn't have these problems. Although there are two toddlers living in my house now...

I've seen online that this is a common problem with amtico. I wish I'd known sooner. I feel like I've made a very expensive mistake. I spent over an hour on my hands and knees scouring the upstairs today and there are still marks left!

I've seen online that some people use steam mops though they're not recommended as they might compromise the glue. I think I might go ahead and try one out of desperation.

Does anyone here have any tips?

What pattern is yours? Ours is wood, and I find the slow build up of dirt just adds to the pattern so it's not particularly noticeable. I can't motivate myself to clean them more than once every month or two!
I find the floor is dirtiest right next to sink so that requires the most regular cleaning. Living room, hardly ever?
Although we are a mostly shoes off house, the kids drag plenty of dirt in from the garden.

I've just got a lovely broom from amazon with a wiper blade around £16. Used flash spray and no rinse the floors came up lovely. In fact I was ashamed of the grime given they were mopped regularly
