Cleaning/fixing unsealed wood floor that was cleaned with industrial-type floor cleaner?
My mother has had unsealed hardwood floors in her house for far too long. She once used some kind of industrial floor cleaner on the unsealed wood. Now whenever it rains the floor becomes slimy and damp wherever the cleaner was used. When the rain passes, the floor is once again dry. It's a real mess. Can anyone suggest a method of fixing this (or even suggest any forums/websites where I am likely to find someone with an answer)?

So there's some kind of residue that apparently repels water, almost like a deck treatment... I don't suppose mom could remember exactly what "cleaner" she used, or that there's a old can of it sitting around? If searching around the house a bit reveals a part-can of floor wax or other what's-this floor product, another possibility. What you find might suggest an "antidote", but I doubt it. For best results, the entire floor could be chemically "stripped" and refinished, but that's a big job. Sorry.
