Got a steam mop - just use plain water, will never go back. If there’s a particularly dirty spot I may hit it with a little dish soap and a scrub brush, but otherwise it’s 99% steam cleaning.
Not OP, and I don’t have a brand recommendation, but a word of advice. If you get a steam mop, it may be beneficial to use distilled water and not tap water. If you have hard tap water, the junk will build up in your mop and you’ll need to clean it.
Tap water will work just fine, but it will effectively shorten the lifespan.
But I really can’t recommend a steam mop enough. No chemicals, just water and power. And it cleans even the nastiest of spills.
I agree with this, but honestly I use filtered water from my fridge. I considered it a bit of a middle ground, still harder than distilled, but better than tap.
I’ve only had it for about a year so I can’t speak for its longevity, but I can appreciate that it scrubs and steams at the same time and does a pretty good job removing dirt etc.

Didn’t even know that existed! Thank you stranger. Is there one you’d recommend?
