Kristi --

This may not be possible with such short notice, but we use a Rainbow
vacuum to clean the floors in storage areas.  It has a water
reservoir that traps the dust and dirt so you can remove it from the
building.  They are not cheap - we paid almost $1200 several years
ago - but they are wonderful for keeping floors and walls clean without
introducing a bucket of mop water into your storage area.  Good luck.
