Once a week I use a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid to a gallon of hot water. Once a month I use a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid, about a cup of lemon scented ammonia to a gallon of water. Remove ground in dirt and old wax. Then I put on a new coat of wax.

Murphy's or simple white vinegar and water.
I still like Spic N Span liquid. If its got a wax buildup or Mop n Glow on it, lemon ammonia will get it off.
You may have to actually scrape off old wax in the corners and around the edges.
Make a solution of hot water, something soapy like Dawn and a couple of cups of straight ammonia. Wear gloves..and maybe a breathing mask if the ammonia bothers You. You apply solution with a sponge, mop or cloth . Let sit a few minutes and use a stiff brush. You may need to do this more than once depending on how much buildup there is.
When I had linoleum floors in the kitchen I'd mop using a Green Boss mop -- similar to Swiffer but sturdier -- with a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle of either vinegar+water (or sometimes Windex). I found that mopping the area near the stove each night after frying anything kept any spatter from getting tracked around.
Note: If you have a truly stubborn stain, the microfiber cloths, if rinsed out after using it, will withstand mopping with chlorine bleach+water -- no other mop pad I've found can survive that.
Look up the brand on the Internet and you'll probably get instructions there. I am in the process of pricing Armstrong sheet vinyl for my TV rm. and the saleswoman said warm water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent or just plain warm water.
I recommend making up a huge binder with plastic sheet protectors for each and every appliance, piece of furniture, computer, etc. in your home. It takes lots of time but is worth it when you need references. Save all instruction booklets and sales slips in this book. Divide binder by areas:
Kitchen
Basement
TV room and so on with index dividers (available at Dollar Tree)
Also, make a Directory for the front of the binder listing each and every item in it so info will be right at your fingertips.
