Update
Floors update- Look great, but fumes still strong. (Side note- it is rather difficult trying to air a house out when it’s 20 degrees outside.) Got a few tips on what helps, wiping floors down with Murphy’s oil soap, placing baking soda around the room. We’ll try that tonight with one more round of airing out, and hopefully be back in the house by tomorrow night. This would be helpful especially considering the news is acting like it’s the end of the world with the weather we’re supposed to get in the next day or two. I’m pretty convinced that means it’ll maybe snow an inch or rain for 20 minutes, although I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for a snow day.

You might also try putting some glasses with white vinegar in them throughout the house. It works especially well with paint fumes. It might work with the fumes from your floors. And since vinegar is like .99 for a bottle it's a cheap try.
I didn't catch what you finished the floor with but don't put any liquids on them for at least 30 days. The fumes mean that the finish is still curing. Any foreign chemicals on them now... even water... could damage the finish. All I can suggest is a fan on "low" set to exhaust to evacuate fumes from the room/bring fresh air in. That may accelerate curing a little.
