How can I remove oily residue from old heart of pine floors?

12 years ago
After many years of having a housekeeper clean my 100 year old heart of pine floors with an oil soap and water, I have read that oil soap should NEVER be used on wood floors. Now I know why. No matter what cleaning products I try, including natural ones, I cannot remove the oily residue left on my pine floors. I really don't want to sand and poly since I have no subfloor underneath but is that the only way to remove this oily coating? Any ideas?
