epigram

An epigram is a short and notable statement. Although it can be poetic, this is not necessary. However, it is always concise, dealing pointedly with a single thought or event. They also tend to be ingenious and witty. Because of their short length, authors of epigrams often strive to make them very memorable.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
