Most affordable / best way to clean floors?

I've been using dish soap with water to mop floors for years, to clean and pick up grease. Is there a better product? It's dangerously slippery. Should I switched to something else? Perhaps pine sol? Looking for something which does a great job cleaning and pickup grease as well as affordable and not as dangerous.
I'm cleaning ceramic tile kitchen floors. I also want something that doesn't leave anything behind, like wax etc. I don't want any build up.

Water, vinegar, and about two drops of dish soap. It shouldn’t be slippery! And I prefer hand washing because I like to get into the corners and along the edges better.
I also like to steam mop tile, with just plain water.

Water, vinegar and tiny squirt of dish soap is all we use too.

Hot water and one teaspoon of tide powder in a bucket of water.

A Baking soda or washing soda(stronger base) solution, anything that is a base is great for grease. Not sure what finish your floors have, might want to confirm what pH they can handle.
Agree also with the hand washing. It works best for me.
