Linoleum is considered to be one of the most practical types of flooring, since with proper care and the right level of durability, it can last an incredibly long time.

But with the help of some tricks, you can return even old linoleum to a presentable appearance.

What needs to be done for this?

Boil the potatoes

We don’t need the vegetable itself, but the liquid left after cooking it has a very powerful cleansing and polishing effect.

This liquid must be mixed with ordinary water in equal proportions.

After that, we start treating the floor and evaluate the result. Starch has a similar effect. You only need to add a couple of spoons of loose starch to the water for washing the floors.
