If you have just recently laid linoleum on your floor, you will only have to polish it symbolically.

To clean in this case, you will need to add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to a basin of water and polish the floors with a woolen cloth.

But if the linoleum is more than one year old, you will have to take proper care of it.

For example, if there are traces of rust, fuel oil or mold on the floor, you will need lemon juice.

You can use not only freshly squeezed citrus juice, but also ready-made concentrate or dissolve lemon crystals in water.

There is also advice in case scratches and dents have formed on the floor covering during use.

In such a situation, it is worth stocking up on wax, which you need to rub the problem areas. Although the defects will not disappear, they will be perfectly disguised.

But to make linoleum shine, starch will help – dissolve 2-3 tablespoons in a bucket of water and wash the floor thoroughly.
