Strangest thing...

What is your floor made of? If it's one of those pretty finished-cement floors, or maybe certain kinds of semi-porous tile, it could be that the cleaner caused actual salt to leach up out of the surface.

Our garage floor is the standard cement, and it regularly develops salty crusts in the areas where moisture occurs... because of residual salt in the cement mix.

It definitely could be gnomes.

But my guess would be maybe a salt shaker on the counter or table that has now become a cat toy?

In my house anything that hits the floor is fair game. And Chester is a lot faster than I am. More often than not the item will end up under something never to be seen again.

That is what I am thinking - a chemical reaction happened there - what kind of floor and what kind of cleanser are you using?
