Hatfields vs McCoys

Apparently my wood laminate floors and Cierra's Mug Rootbeer do not get along well. Since this household is home to a real life cowboy:

Photobucket

I'll make an analogy that is fitting for us all...my floors:Mug Rootbeer, Hatfields:McCoys

Earlier today CC dropped a cup of Mug Rootbeer on the floor that has created a stickiness impervious to a Swiffer Wet Jet, a plain ol Swiffer Sweeper with wet cloths, Clorox Disinfecting Kitchen Cleaner, Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner, Oxy Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, an off brand toilet cleaner and plain ol elbow grease. Now, I understand that three out of the seven attempted cleaning products are not intended for floor usage but I've become desperate.

I can promise you there is not a germ to be found in front of my couch...but the stickiness remains. How is this so?

Maybe a product called Goo gone would work. It works for other sticky things.

It's time to invest in a lovely rug to cover that area! ; )

Erin,
I use Method Wood Cleaner (Target sells Method products) and OrangeGlo Wood cleaner. Maybe those would help? I know Swiffer doesn't work too well on my floors for some reason...
Ryland is so beautiful! And don't worry, I'm sure she LOVES her mama!
