I have had redecoration carried out in a flat. The painters did a lot of sanding of the walls with the result the floor which has been sanded and varnished is very dirty. I have tried washing with soapy water twice but am left which a streaky white residue. I can't afford to have the the floor resanded, what can I use to remove this residue?

heeelllooo valcraw and welcome 
are you sure its to do with sanding!!!!!
from you description it sounds like white paint smears wiped up but not properly
is it only small areas or a large area
if its small try white spirit but only if its a recent mark [a few days ]!!!
ANOTHER POINT if the wood gets wet under the varnish it can go opaque
perhaps leaving for a while will help!!!
