How to wash worn linoleum so that it becomes like new: a proven remedy

It doesn't take much time or effort to clean up newly laid linoleum.

In this case, experienced housewives dilute a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a basin of water and polish the floor with a woolen cloth.

If the floor covering has served you faithfully for several years, you will need additional funds to “reanimate” it.

So, if rust, fuel oil or mold stains were noticed on the linoleum, lemon juice will come to the rescue.

You can buy a ready-made concentrate in the store or use citric acid crystals dissolved in water.

Scratches and dents left by heavy furniture standing on the floor can be removed with wax.

After you rub the linoleum with this product, the defects, of course, will not disappear, but it will not be so easy to notice them with the naked eye.

Finally, washing with water with starch dissolved in it will help restore the shine to the coating - you only need 2-3 tablespoons per bucket.
