How about cleaning it?
Try a good grease cutting detergent.

This is what I get for trying to post questions while at the office - I
fail to include all information!

The cleaners we have at the church claim they've used good janitorial
cleaner on the floor, but it doesn't do the trick. There's a bit of
tacky/stickiness to the floor, so I suspect years' worth of build-up that
just won't come off without either a really strong almost floor stripper
(which I'm told you NEVER use on no-way flooring) or scrubbing and
scrubbing and scrubbing and...

I was hoping there was a simpler solution I wasn't aware of, but it looks
like I'm gonna have to recruit some members who have loads of elbow grease
to share and are willing to get on their knees for something that doesn't
involve praying (unless you count "Oh, God, my knees hurt!").

Before you do why dont you try some ammonia (sp?) and let it sit for a few
minutes and then take a mop over it? I bet it all comes up.

Sounds like its just a build up of wax and grease. Ammonia will take it
right off for you. Look like brand new.
