Beyond my expertise and I resent it

There IS now air conditioning at work! It's set to 20° which is about 78° F, I think. So not extremely low and not SUPER effective. But it's detectable!

I really don't want to start the whole process of washing the floor at work, enormous and tiled, with bad grout and dings and cracks and fully exposed to the huge glass picture windows: it usually takes at least two days and leaves me all hot and sweaty and the floor usually looking pretty bad still. Also I have to stay open if any customers come in, and stop cleaning to help them while all sweaty and out of breath. That's why you don't normally do a cardio workout while working a reception desk!

I have realized there's a bunch of built up floor wax that the Enjo mop doesn't seem to remove perceptibly, even though it's supposed to be like Super Microfiber. Possibly because you're supposed to use it with cold water, which doesn't soften the wax. The wax gets moved around a little bit and looks streaky and then more dust just immediately sticks in it. But I need to at least do the basics. Uggggghhhhh.

what you need is a bunch of medieval monks to scrub it on their knees with hot water and soap to get rid of the old wax.

Exactly. I don't have that kind of stamina! Actually not even strength, bc when I tried this the wax didn't come off with hot water and dish soap. Apparently you can get it off by scraping after hot water - one site recommended a credit card! Whose? Not mine! - but most want you to use ammonia or dish detergent.
