The popularity of linoleum as a floor covering is due, first of all, to its low cost and excellent performance characteristics.

In addition, a wide range of patterns and colors of linoleum can be found in almost any store, reminds the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .

Indeed, you can find everything here – linoleum on a fabric or foam base, dark, light, linoleum tiles and, of course, ribbed linoleum.

Sellers describe this type as non-slip and very durable.

And these features are indeed inherent in the ribbed surface, however, in addition to the advantages, it also has significant disadvantages.

Among the shortcomings, first of all, it is worth noting that the unevenness becomes a real trap for dust and dirt.

You won't be able to get rid of deep-seated dirt even if you wash the floor by hand.

Because of this, the appearance of the linoleum deteriorates over time, and with it the overall appearance of the room. The room becomes unkempt and dirty.

The only solution to this problem with an asterisk is to use a steam generator on a permanent basis, which is not available to everyone.
