My first thought, as someone else mentioned, is that he likes the taste of something you may be cleaning the floor with. Is he licking in the same spot all the time or at random places on the floor? Perhaps something was spilled in a particular spot previously and he's trying to find more? Although I'm absolutely and 100% NOT an authority (on anything!), I have discovered that most of the time there is a reason for what they do. Might be a bit strange to us, but they have their reason. The trick is getting to their reason.
Example: My dog started licking his paws incessantly not long ago. Driving me crazy. In the meantime, I am covered in chigger bites from the grass outside my apartment. (apartment, hence I can't do anything about it) Anyway, it occurred to me yesterday...if I'm scratching like a lunatic from chiggers, he may well have chiggers between his toes. He can't scratch his toes so he just licks. I put a bucket of water next to door and started cleaning/drying his feet before we come inside. The jury is still out, but it *seems* to have made a bit of a difference.
PS: I really like/appreciate the idea of cleaning floors with vinegar. Had not thought of that and certainly cheaper than floor cleansers. Thank you! - Susan
