Dishsoap and vinegar water for the most part, but at the risk of going down in greenpeace flames I don't think it deep cleans all that well. It's fine and easy for daily touchups though.
Although I'm obsessed with the smell of Murphy's Oil Soap lately and it makes my vinyl floors so shiny and deep cleaned. It's my new go to. It works on most anything and is overall pretty safe, which is pretty nice because I try to keep the least amount of cleaners around possible. It's also relatively cheap. Basically now I know why it's all my Mom and MIL have used on everything for years!

I tried the Murphy's and OMG the smell made me sick. It was overpowering and the smell of evergreen and peppermint are still a little much for me.
I figured vinegar and water might work fine in it too. I've used that on my floors just fine, but I had to use a bucket and mop. I'm too lazy for that. (I will be using it daily to keep the floors cleaner than what I usually do lol.)

I cannot stand Murphys. I'm with emo on this one. The smell makes me feel nauseous. When my mom mops with it, I literally have to leave her house. For hours. Ugh.
At the moment, I'm using the last of my stockpiled swiffer juice. When I'm finally out of it, I'll switch to this:

I wonder how awful that method smells. I had to order the scent-free stuff online because my Target stopped carrying it and the other options were just overpowering. I must be really sensitive to smells (I totally started to type "scentisitive"... like it was a word) because I just can't do it. The smell of the Method Shower Cleaner is almost too much for me too.

I only like a few method smells. Sweet water and their lemon scents. Anything else is overpowering, like you said. I think it'll be manageable, because I plan on watering it down. My other option is Mrs. Meyers' or Dr. Bronners all purpose.

I am out of swiffer stuff and was glad to see the other recommendation I use a mix of Murphy's oil or bona depending on what I feel like using. I want to try the method but can't find it in stores the ones target had were too strong
