How To Clean Linoleum Floors!
In this video I will be showing how to clean linoleum floors. If your linoleum floors have been neglected for years and have stains or buildup, I will give you a simple step-by-step process to follow to restore them back to life!
Lets go over the general maintenance cleaning:
1. Sweep or vacuum all trash and crumbs.
2. Mop with a gallon of water, 1 cup of vinegar and a squirt of dish soap.
3. Let dry
4. Remove black scuff marks with a tennis ball
Restore process:
1. Spray linoleum floors with rubbing alcohol and scrub with a brush. Wipe away dirty liquid with paper towels.
Things to avoid:
1. Never use rubber or latex backed rugs on linoleum floors. This will give them those ugly yellow stains. Instead, use colorfast rugs.
2. Never use ammonia-based cleaners on the linoleum floors. This will strip the polish and damage your floors.

1:44 is how I felt once the intro was finally over. And finally someone who understands rubbing alcohol as a universal solvent!

@awakeningEmpath 10 месяцев назад

I have a new commercial client so I can't afford to mess up, but would white spirit / turpentine do the same job without any damage, because I'm thinking most scuff marks are paint/ink/wax from shoes / furniture so oil based & white spirit works miracles for other jobs

@joanbarriault8429 3 года назад

So I just tried this on my laundry room floor and it works. I had tried all types of cleaners and was amazed at what the rubbing alcohol could do. I used scouring pads instead of the brush as this was more effective based on the amount of build up that was on the floor. I never knew that rubber backed mats were a No-No on vinyl floors. Thank You!

@deependz3231 Год назад

Gallon of water, 1 cup of vinegar and added Lestoil instead of a squirt of dish soap. Worked like a charm.

@NeoDarkling 3 года назад

Dude, this worked amazingly well! I did a test square in my kitchen and all the build up dissolved almost instantly. After that I pulled out my trusty deck brush to scrub, my Swiffer Wet Mop to wipe up and went to work--I am NOT about that hands-and-knees life! LOL I live in an apartment and the floors have been needing some love since the day I moved in but nothing I tried from Borax to vinegar to Awesome worked that well. Now my floors look brand new and I can't get over over easy it was. Thank you so much for sharing. 😄

Happy to see your video. You helped me to realize, I can make a video as well. I was too busy cleaning everything and cooking. I had to wash my mats in the tub with bleachy detergent water and a broom, and allow to air dry. Baking soda did work with alcohol. I scrubbed until I saw a difference with baking soda and alcohol, and let dry. I then added a little cleanser. I scrubbed until I saw a difference and then I let dry. I then added a little dishwasher detergent. I scrubbed until I saw a difference and let dry. I added alcohol then scrubbed until I saw a difference, one final time, with baking soda. I'm sorry it was too much work for a video (I'd never planned to make a video, but I can tell you it worked. 75% of the stain is gone, and yes, it was hard work, very hard.

@RealScarlett33 6 лет назад

This is really terrific! The buildup on every square inch of linoleum throughout our new rental house is a disgrace. Not only is it an eyesore, but it's sticky underfoot. I'm excited to restore it. Thanks so much! New sub. :)

Wondering if it was Zep. The process definitely degreased & degrimed. My arms hurt just thinking about the size of my floor & the hand scrub method lol

@@cindymaun8952 The relatively new (I presume) drill brushes available at Amazon work great for me, I'm a retired Paramedic & my shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, etc. are shot! I'll see if I can attach a pic or link, but ear protection, a variable speed electric drill, 'ear protection' & old clothes......or even the new Dremel Versa (which has it's own pads) and most importantly, a $5 foam knee pad! I'm not sure if he would recommend it, but since they come in different degrees of rigidity of the bristles much like different grit sandpaper, it worked great for me. My floor had decades of buildup, but the above combination was worth every cent, saved my joints, back, time & the floor looks great!

I had no problem watching your video until the very end. And I'm so glad that I did. Your confidence is what grabbed my attention and kept me waiting to see your end results. Talk about a happy ending . . . your rubbing alcohol tip cleaned up just like you said it would! And then 😲😲😲😲 you slithered around on top of it to prove just how clean it was🤣🤣🤣🤣.

@CleanWithConfidence 5 лет назад

I just used one brush with a moderate amount of pressure. You can buy the brush at WaL Mart or most any store that sells cleaning supplies. It should be only a couple dollars.

My messed up floor is Armstrong 62911. I decided to write to the installer about the yellow marks and how to clean it.

My kitchen floor looks terrible. It has ground-in dirt in spots. But due to circumstances beyond my control (hip surgery a few months ago), it's impossible to get on my hands and knees to do this.

Sprinkle baking soda on the floor, wet it a little and then put the mop on the green pad scrub vigorously and see what happens. Hopefully it'll work.

@CleanWithConfidence 6 лет назад

If the stain is very old it may be impossible to remove. But I have a few things you can try. If one doesnt wokr move on to the next. 1.) Use an enzyme cleaner and just follow instructions on label. 2.) Apply regular old white shaving cream, let sit for 30 minutes, then wipe clean. 3.) Use 3% hydrogen peroxide. Just pour some on the stain and rub it with a cloth. 4.) Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply to stain, let sit for 30 minutes then wipe clean. 5.) Try rubbing a white non-gel toothpaste on it. Hope this helps!
