If you are asking how to clean it because it is slippery (which it is when wet) then clean the part fartherest from the door. Do a patch about 3 foot wide and work backwards to the door so you don't have to slip on the wet floor. Wear rubber soled shoes.

Once a week I use 1 cup of vinegar to one gallon hot water and a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid like Janice suggests. Once a month I use one cup of lemon scented ammonia to one gallon hot water. Ammonia for deep cleaning, removing built up dirt/grime and wax. Then I use Mop and Glo to wax the floor. Any wax will work.
Fill a bucket with a gallon of hot water, and then mix in about 6 to 8 drops of normal, over-the-counter dish soap. Avoid using anything that is particularly harsh or acidic. Rather, just stick to the same soap that you use on your dishes. This solution should then be stirred slightly.
