I'm wondering... I swept and vacuumed the floors earlier today - it's just basic, boring lino. I then mopped the floors. After the floors dried, they still felt kind of funny. They looked and smelled clean, but didn't feel clean. Almost felt like the floor had a fine something on it - like some flour sprinkled ever so lightly all over. Not just in one place, but all over all the floors. Any idea on why this is happening? I have been using cheaper no-name all purpose lemon cleaner for the floors - same stuff I've always used, but last time I went shopping for cleaning supplies, I was running short on cash and got the el-cheapo stuff. I have done this in the past with no problems. I filled the mop bucket up as much as I always do, and used the same amount of cleaner I always have used - not sure off hand, but again, nothing changed as I've always used the same amount all along. The floors just feel kinda icky. Any ideas? Could it be the cheap cleaners? The mop? The floors themselves? It's just kind of annoying, as I know for a fact that I swept and vacuumed well, then mopped it up as I have time and time again. Might sound weird, but hoping someone has some ideas!
