Which mop?

I have a large kitchen with a tiled floor which never looks clean. I’ve tried a standard mop, the wizzy turbo mop, a steam cleaner yet it still doesn’t look clean. Any suggestions other than hands, knees and a floor cloth? I used to use Flash liquid and more recently have used Fairy liquid, white vinegar and some lemon oil.

I'm also in the same position so am following! Would like something that's easy to use on a regular basis without the faff of mop bucket and having to dry the tiles off because they get slippy.

I have a LeIfheit spinny mop which I really like. Must have tried everything else now, and this one is the quickest and easiest to use. I use supermarket floor cleaner but occasionally washing powder. I can see the tiles need scrubbing, but that can wait. In my experience, scrubbing with a stiff brush, hot soapy water and then a cloth is the only way to get dirty tiled floors really clean.

I like the Vileda magic mop with the angled head

I have a shark hydrovac which I find brilliant, it takes 7 minutes to mop my kitchen, utility and bathrooms, and I don't need to hoover first!

I found out on Friday after my brand new washer decided to spew hot soapy water all over my kitchen floor that after mopping it up it has never looked cleaner, will be using laundry powder to clean it in the future.
