Linoleum is one of the most popular types of floor coverings.
Despite this, not all housewives know the rules for caring for this material.
The result is often a deterioration in the condition of the coating.
Consequences such as swelling and dullness of the linoleum often become apparent.
How not to wash linoleum
The first common mistake is treating the material with water at very high temperatures.
Using such a liquid can cause the linoleum to “swell” and lose color.
The second common mistake is the use of additives that pose a huge danger to the coating.
First of all, we are talking about soda and ammonia. The first agent can destroy the top layer of linoleum, and the second - make the material too brittle and covered with cracks.
How to wash linoleum
It is better to use slightly warm water. The liquid should be slightly soapy (it is advisable to use laundry soap).
After completing the procedure, the floor covering should be wiped with a clean cloth soaked in cool water.
As a result, the material will become perfectly clean and shiny, and will also retain the pattern.
