spec me a mop set

Hello. I am new here. I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. but I have a question about mops.
Never had to even think about mopping before but just moved into our new house and the entire downstairs is Karndean flooring in glued 'planks'. Steam I a no-no as it can apparently melt the glue, so apart from needing a ph neutral cleaning agent best mop for rubber gym floor, I need a decent mop!

No budget as such, just convenience and quality.

There are a lot of mops out there, help me!

Sorry but this is a vaping forum- not a mop and cleaning forum. Geez
So you just joined a vaping forum a few minutes ago to ask about a mop? :facepalm:

OK... first post (about mops) but at least it was moved to a proper forum. I was a professional housekeeper so I will bite) A simple mop style (not the big messy ones) is a handle with a rectangular bottom covered with a microfiber cloth. Products to use... OK, I did some research... this is a specific type of flooring so I understand your concerns. Of course, the website I found said use special products (of the same brand) to clean. If you do some homework (or we can help you) this may not be needed. Hardwood floors I recommend "Bona"... very good product but not for your application. One thing was mentioned: neutral pH so no acid or alkaline products. I can see why they are concerned about "steam mops" but I have a nice little one and my personal opinion is (if you keep it moving and not let it set in one spot) it might be fine. They assume people will let it sit in one spot (it will get too hot and ruin your floor) BUT... if you are not an idiot, and are very careful), this might be a good choice. Use distilled water in it. They do not get too hot if you keep it moving (in fact, for a good cleaning on normal vinyl flooring, you have to go very slow) Pre-spot with simple dish soap (detergent) diluted with water in a spray bottle.
So... do you even vape? I had to ask. Or... do you just think people on vaping forums are smarter/more knowledgeable than others? (I had to look up the spelling on that big word LOL) If you want the "proper" product to clean your floors... here it is (but I doubt you need it):
