We had a gym set up in our downstairs tiled area. The man sprayed silicone spray on the weights so they move properly, but the spray has gone all over the tiled area and up our hardwood floor staircase. I've cleaned it twice and it's still very slippery. I'm sure it was only a very fine spray, but we are slipping all over the place. Please help.

Ammonia let sit 15 minutes with plenty of ventilation. Use floor scrub brush then mop rinse with 1/2 cup white vinegar mixed in 1 gallon water.
I dropped a can of silicone spray and the nozzle tip snapped off spraying silicone spray forcefully everywhere on my oak hardwood floor. I grabbed the can, put my finger over the top, and ran it outdoors. I had a heavy concentration of silicone spray all over the floor.
Pine Sol. Straight.
I was working on my bike inside the house. Laid down rags, but over-sprayed silicone on the hardwood. I first tried Windex. No change. Then I used my steam cleaner. Just as slippery as before.Then I poured down Pine Sol, no water, onto the floor. Rubbed it in then rubbed it off. No more slips in our house. Thank goodness.
I took the advice on using Pine Sol to clean up my floor. We had used a Silicone sealer on our garage floor. After that our wood floor in our kitchen got very slippery. Only thing we could think of was that it took longer than we thought for the sealent to dry and we tracked it onto our wood floor.
I oversprayed silicone lubricant on a tile floor (was coating doors to prevent freezing shut). I had a jug of Pine Sol in basement, brought it up, poured directly on the floor, rubbed it in with a rag, then used a fresh rag to remove any residual. Problem solved, no more slipperiness. Thanks for a great tip!
I used Pine Sol as well to remove some spilled silicone on our oak wood floor. Amazing. It took it all off!
I didnt have PineSol so used Mr. Clean straight out of the bottle. It works too
Thank you for this tip. I had been dealing with Silicone on my wood floor from some rugs with rubber backing. Apparently they use Silicone on these to preserve the rubber.
Had same problem My dog chewed a hairbrush with silicone handle. I had to wash floor with heavy cleaner. I even wiped it with acetone, in time it will clean up. I found that the bottom of our shoes had a small amount of silicone and we kept tracking it on the floor and recoating it.
We used non-bio washing powder mixed with a small amount of water to make a gritty paste, applied with a textured micro cloth. This has removed the ice rink slipperiness from a vinyl floor.
Pinesol seems like the best answer, and easier way. But here is an alternative in case you don't have some pineaol. Same issue, slippery wooden floors due to silicon, didn't have pinesol and tried mix of dishsoap with white vinegar (which we use at home to clean surfaces) and it also worked!
