How to safely remove half a bottle of concentrated washing up liquid from kitchen floor - HELP!

[Didylicious]

In the time it took me to go to the loo - my 4y old DD decided to massage half a bottle of washing up liquid into the kitchen (linoleum) floor......

Immediately I brought out the mop and added hot water to try to remove - but it's not working - there is just SO MUCH washing up liquid and now the floor is extremely hazardous.

I'm heavily pregnant and probably should not be trying to negotiate such a slippery floor - but I need to remove this and make the floor safe.....

Any suggestions?

put some sugar on it to stop it being slippery.

Try again to clear it up in an hour.

dry towels to soak it up?

ooh, ooh, better idea:

put some sugar on it to stop it being slippery.

Wait till dh gets home and make him clean it up.

Do it on all fours too. Good for positioning of the baby!? Get a old cloth and bucket or washing up basket and get as much up that way. Sugar or salt will act as grit. At least the area will be spotlessly clean later, unlike mine.....

Okay - may aswell throw some sugar at it - couldn't be any worse!

The cupboard with the cleaning cloths in is at the far side of the kitchen (ie - inaccessible now!).....

Yes - perhaps towels would help - at least in getting the worst off...I have some old cloth nappies somewhere that might do nicely.

Thanks for the suggestions!

actually I use old cloth nappies for spillages as well. i'd forgotton that.

Get a piece of stiff card and a dustpan and just scrape it into the dustpun then into a bucket? Can be done on hands and knees. although I do prefer leave it well alone and let your dh do it.
Better still give it a good scrub with a 4yo child

Okay - added LOTS more water using the mop - and then used the old nappies to soak it up - that seems to have worked a treat! Floor no longer slippy - although I suspect next time it is splashed it WILL be slippy again.

Meanwhile....... 4y old left to own devices while mummy cleaned the floor up - so next Q is....

Firstly, best thing to remove lipstick from radiator (she raided my handbag!)...... think this might be a "baby wipe" job.

AND anyone got a clue how to retrieve polly pockets rubber pants from the water overflow outlet on the bathroom basin? (they're her 6y old sisters polly pocket's mini rubber pants - for the doll itself, if you see what I mean.... and she's going to be in awful trouble if she can't A: Get them back or B: keep quiet that she did that with them!)...

haha very unhelpful i know, but your day is making me laugh.
i'll try and stop for a mo to answer, not sure about the lipstick- i would be incined to baby wipe it.
not sure how big polly pocket rubber pnts are- could you perhaps get them with tweezers?

4y old now upset - suggesting I call builders to knock down house, to get PPPants back, then build house again...

babywipes removed lipstick okay - off to find knitting needle/crochet hook to try to get pants back....

Would you believe I'm actually pregnant with my 4th child.....

Why DO I do this to myself??

Only 10 mins to get PP Pants back before I have to do 3 mile trek to retrieve child 2 from school.... Ho hum....

Think it's Fish fingers and chips for tea tonight..... I'll be worn out!
