What's the best cleaner to use with a spray mop?

Dull topic - I have a spray mop (as recommended to me on here!) but I'd like recommendations for a good cleaner to use with it. Currently using a bit of very diluted fairy liquid, but presumably a floor cleaner would be better?

I don't like very strong fragrances and my floor is amtico (if that makes any difference).

Also bonus points if it needs diluting/is concentrated. I've used Method floor cleaner in the past but it was very £££ as it was used neat and the bottle was pretty small.

Dettol used to do a straight to floor cleaner it was good, but I have not seen it for ages now

Flash floor cleaner, the apple antibacterial one is nice but might be a bit too strong for your nose.

After in the machine. Method floor cleaner straight onto the floor

Marks and Spencer floor cleaner, diluted with water.

Hot soapy water is fine.

Flash one is the best I think. I’ve got a Cif one this week as it was on offer and it just foams up so much the mop sounds like a squeaky Guinea pig when I try and spray it 🙄😳😆

Method rhubarb or almond floor cleaners are pleasant smelling but not too strong.

I make my own. Cupful of white vinegar, squirt of washing up liquid, few drops of tea tree oil and enough warm water to fill up a half-litre bottle.
