Hard floor cleaner

Can anyone recommend a really good hard floor cleaner? I have tiles in the kitchen and LVT in the hall, but the kitchen tiles are textured and really hard to keep clean as dirt gets trapped in the grooves, not aided by our muddy spaniel.
Ive had a Vax OnePwr but it has died and I wasn’t that impressed with it. It got some dirt up but didn’t do a really deep clean.
I don’t mind corded if it’s more effective. I’m tempted by the Miele Triflex aqua, mainly because it would be one machine for everything , but I’m not sure it would really deal with the floor.
any thoughts much appreciated

Following for recommendations too. Was looking at steam mops

Yes, Savon Noir. It’s really concentrated and you just use a drop in a mop bucket.

I really rate Flash no rinse cleaner,I buy the l mon one. Dries so quickly and is good in spray mops.

Sorry,ignore the above,I didn't realise you want and actual machine rather than a product 😂

I have three dogs and various flooring. Floorboards, textured vinyl and stone tiles. The floorboards are the best to clean by far, the vinyl the worst. In my opinion, no cleaner is amazing, you’ve got to clean the floor a lot if it is textured.

We have runners in hallway areas which attracts most of the mud and wet from their feet. I then mop twice weekly else it gets quite bad.

I use a Joymoop from Amazon now. I have eight pads and if the dirt does build up I change the water a few times. You can see the dirt on the mop heads to know it’s picked a load up and then you must rinse it off else you’re just pushing more dirt around.

My brand new washing machine decided to spew hot soapy water all over my kitchen floor on Friday, it's never looked so clean.
