Is the house considered impure after cleaning its impure tiles with water and soap, with traces of soap remaining in certain places, knowing that one towel was used to dry all the places in the house that were wet with water and soap? And is everything that touched the damp tiles considered impure, including clothes, children's toys, and carpets? And is it permissible to pray on these tiles?

The towel did not become impure because it was used after a large amount of water was poured on the impure spot and its trace was removed. The default state of things is purity, and certainty is not removed by doubt, so there is no need for obsessive thoughts.
