Imaoldhippie... I mop over and over because when I take a corner of a clean damp cloth to the floor, dirt still comes up. My tile has more of a glow to it than a shine, if that makes sense. Sometimes I wonder if its the "finish" on the tile causing part of the problem.

I used the Haan steamer for two years and then one day I noticed a distinctive straight line of darker color than the rest of the laminate.....I had just finished steaming the floor.
Well, I got a damp paper towel and went over the line....dirt! That was it for the steamer.
I purchased a telescoping rechargeable floor brush set ( it was cheaper on Amazon then ) and with a floor mop that I can squeeze out the dirty water, I am very happy with my shiny, clean floors. I can't get down on knees anymore !

I'm 73 and will not spend 3 hours cleaning my floors! I no longer care that the tile is shiny, because it just isn't! LOL! I use my Dyson rechargeable daily for about 10 minutes to pick up the cat fur, litter and dragged in dirt. I have a Swiffer Wet Jet that I use on the tile floors every couple of weeks and it does a decent job as long as I use one pad for the kitchen and one pad for the LR. That job takes me about 30 minutes. As long as I know the floor is clean, I'm satisfied. Once in awhile, I'll hand-wipe the corners or the baseboards, but that is not a priority.
Another thing to consider for you is the Bissell that vacuums and steams at the same time. I have one and like it - it does save time. Most times I'm just not motivated to use it, but it does work.

LOL. I'm in that age group. Have pretty much stayed in my house for 13+ months due to the Pandemic. You would think my house would be spotless clean. NOT! Tile floors, I have tile in my kitchen a small area in the dining room, and in my entryway. Swiffer works fine, as far as I am concerned.

I watch my 2 granddaughters, age 1 year and 12 years, during the week. I think after seeing the dirt on the knees of my crawling grandbaby and how she puts everything in her mouth has made me very anxious to keep the floor clean. I am going to review the suggestions you all have given me. Who knows, I may end up with an arsenal of cleaning tools! Thank you!

Is it possible that Mrs. Meyer's is not getting the floor clean not the mop? I would try Lysol or something along those lines. Maybe you just need a stronger cleaner. I never rinse with water after I cleaned the floor. Is Mrs. Meyer's leaving a film on the floor?

Even if I had all that time just to do 1 floor, I wouldn't! I steam clean my wood floors (both living room & kitchen/dining) downstairs, and steam clean all the rugs up stairs [just about] every week!
The steam is enough to really clean (and refresh carpets), and things are dry in no time.

I use both a mop and a steam cleaner although not at the same time. I feel the mop gets into corners better, and just the fact that the floor gets wetter makes me feel like it is cleaner than just the steam cleaning.

I had a steam mop years ago. Got it from QVC. Didn't last that long but I didn't feel it got the floors really clean. I have a shark Irobot vacuum. I turn it on, leave for a while. When I come back, I clean it with a wet swifter. I like the results from swifter better.
