Just because you don’t like the chemicals in convenience cleaning products like Swiffer doesn’t mean you can’t use the idea! Don’t ditch your Swiffer! Just keep a spray bottle next to it filled with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar, 1 part water, and scented with your favorite essential oil. I recommend eucalyptus and lavender, but even without the essential oils you’ll have a nice cleaning solution. The smell of vinegar dissipates as it dries.
When you need it, spray your tile or laminate floors (anything except hard wood) with the solution whenever you need a little spot cleaned, run over it with the swiffer, and no need to rinse. Voila!

Hi there - a fellow Atlantan here.
There are also some cool reusable microfiber cloths for the dry Swiffer that you can buy on Amazon.com inexpensively, so you don’t need those cheap throwaway cloths. They work on the sweeper not the WetJet, and can be used wet or dry.
