How Do I Clean Linoleum Flooring?

Linoleum flooring can be a cost-efficient option for families looking for a flooring change.

It’s versatile, fitting any room of your house. You can find linoleum flooring in a large number of patterns and colors. Pick out a type of linoleum that already matches your decorating to keep some extra money in your pocket in the end.

Once it’s installed, linoleum can be taken care of without much work. Here’s all you need to know about cleaning and maintaining your linoleum flooring:

Sweep or Vacuum Floor First

If you’re going to use a liquid product on the linoleum flooring, which is the best way to clean it, then you need to make sure that all dirt is off the floor. If not, the dirt already on the floor just gets spread out, and the floor doesn’t have the smooth, clean feeling that you’re looking for in the end.

Do this by vacuuming or sweeping the entire portion of the floor that you plan to clean.

Pick A Floor Cleaning Product

There are many products available to use as the cleaning solution for your floors. Go to your local store and search the cleaning aisle, but multiple companies produce a cleaning agent specifically for linoleum flooring.

However, pick one that you’re comfortable with and do some research before making that final decision. It should be a product or brand that you are comfortable with and willing to use on your floors.

Polish Your Linoleum Flooring

The cleaner you purchase will have instructions for how to create the solution needed to clean your floors, but it often involves mixing it with water. The water generally needs to be warm for cleaning product to mix better.

Once the solution is created, use a mop to spread it over the floor. Allow it to dry with as little foot traffic as possible, and your linoleum flooring will be clean and ready to show off!
