Tips for cleaning sheet vinyl floors?
We had a wood plank -look floor installed in the kitchen almost 3 years. I love it! I was doing a thorough cleaning yesterday and i pulled my table away from the wall. The vinyl, in its original condition, was an eye-opener to how dirt gets lodged in the floor where it gets foot trafic. Yikes!
Goggling for cleaning ideas, some said to use water with vinegar. Did not help. Another said to use Scubbing Bubbles to loosen the dirt. Only after I read the ingredients will I consider this. I doubt that I will use my Swiffer in the future once I clean up this floor. I think it just "fills" the small crevices as I push it around the floor.
Anyone have success with deep cleaning a vinyl floor!?
Thanks!
Sandy

I have one of those old fashioned electric floor cleaners with 2 round brushes that go in circles. I make up a pail of warm water with a bit of spic and span disolved in it and pour it on the floor in sections. I go over it with the electric floor machine and the brushes clean out the pebbles. I then get up the dirt and water with my sponge mop.

My kitchen floor is gross. Dirt in the crevices like you said. It is on my list of things to clean this week. I am on Spring break this week. Thanks for the ideas. I was tring to decide the best plan of attack for the dirt. I have a big floor so a magic eraser isn't an option.

I love the Armstrong floor cleaner too!! It cleans great. I have used it with a brush to get grime out. I put it in small areas full strength and then brush. The floor sparkles!
