How about scraping with something like a putty knife? Maybe water
or another solvent would help.

You might get the rest with a pump-up sprayer in one hand and the
wand of a wet-dry vac or carpet cleaner in the other hand, but the
machine would have to vent the soap bubbles outdoors. Otherwise, a
string mop and wringer bucket might be the most efficient method.
You could also wipe with several wet towels, put them into a bucket
of water, dump them into the washer to spin, and use them again.
