You could even mop it up by placing the mop in the middle of the room and just wait.
If there were no surface tension there would almost definitely be no wicking action either. If it didn't evaporate super quickly, water without surface tension would probably be a giant pain in the ass to clean up.
Surface tension and surface energy are related but different. The surface energy of the interface between water and air causes surface tension. The surface energy of the interface between water and mop fibers causes wicking.
