The liquid in the Humidifier should be just water, Slippery could be to much detergent has it is slippery maybe keep rinsing with just water to remove the detergent , We never use detergent on our floor have been told it can cause a film on the floor

Most of those Lino floors get sticky. slippy when things spill on them.
Bunnings are selling flooring cork tiles at present $13.95 pack of 6.
300mmsq each.

Just going down this morn to buy some for mine.
Good silencing. Insulation and protection.
Plus will look a lot better than carpet or lino.

Dehumidifiers use calcium chloride that absorbs water from the the air. So what spilt is not "just water".

The dehumidifier can be refilled cheaper than buying the refill pack. From the pool chemicals section of Bunnings, buy calcium chloride.

Calcium chloride is basically caustic soda and the reason the traces on the floor felt slippery is due to the caustic which is highly alkaline turning the skin oils on your skin to soap - called saponification.
Back a few years ago in the Bureau we mixed calcium chloride and ferrosilicon together with water in a pressure vessel to make hydrogen for filling our balloons. In the tropics we'd be stripped to the waist when doing this operation and the dust from the calcium chloride which settled on your bare sweaty skin made you as slippery as a Philadelphia lawyer.
