How to disinfect a floor mop

I find it so easy cleaning our wooden floors with a traditional mop over an electric steam cleaning. I know the mop head is full of germs after every mop so I want to start disinfecting it after each mop. Would 500ml of vinegar and 500ml of boiling water do the trick? Many thanks.

They are fairly cheap, some under £1, so you can change regular enough.
