Help please! Too much Murphy's Oil Soap on my floors!

I had a new housecleaner today who used waaaaay too much Murphy's Oil Soap on my hardwood floors. He must have totally ignored the directions about 1/4 cup soap per gallon of water - it looks like he took a cup of soap and a cup of water, mixed a paste and spread it across my floors. The floors are now both sticky and slick. They feel like they're covered with both a tacky soapy film and a greasy topcoat.

What can I use to get this up? Can I put a little vinegar, lemon juice or other acid in a bucket of hot water and try that? Baking soda? Dish soap like Palmolive? I have a good 1100 square feet of messed-up flooring that I need to clean and I'd love any advice.

Thanks in advance.
