Cleaning linoleum
When we moved into our house there were some areas of the house with fairly old linoleum in them. I have tried everything to get them clean because they really look like they still have life left in them. found that using an old fashioned wax stripper really helped. A lot of the grime is trapped in old layers of floor wax. Then, of course, you need to re-wax the floor since it doesn’t have any other protective coating. I used a liquid wax product that didn’t need buffing. They really will look much better shiny! The only problem is that it can be hard to find such old- fashioned products. My MIL swears by using ammonia to take strip off the crime off of old linoleum floors. (MIL uses very little water when she does it) Make sure to read the directions on the back and have proper ventilation. After a few hours of work I am happy to report that the wax stripper made a world of difference in these floors. It is nice to know that we are not going to have to put money into new floors right away and can continue to focus on paying off debt!
