How can I clean linoleum?

There are a few things to consider when cleaning linoleum, as it is only slightly alkali-resistant: The pH of the cleaning agent must not be too high. Otherwise the covering can be damaged, staining it. When cleaning linoleum, it is advisable not to use glossy cleaners, hard sponges and abrasives. Suitable cleaners are, for example SAICOS Ecoline Wash Care Concentrate, SAICOS Floor Care Set or SAICOS Ecoline Magic Cleaner.

Prepare the cleaning agent for basic cleaning according to the product-specific instructions – some products are diluted before use. With a soft rag or a telescopic wiper´, apply the agent. When applying, be careful not to use too much product. The following applies to linoleum cleaning: It is better to add more instead of using too much at the beginning.

Then wipe with a cotton cloth in accordance with the product instructions until the surface is dry or wipe with lukewarm water.

More information about cleaning linoleum:

Linoleum impresses with its particularly robust and long-lasting properties. It is therefore a popular floor covering for rooms and areas that are heavily exposed to stress. It can be found in public areas such as schools or hospitals, but also in private areas such as kitchens or hallways. It consists of linseed oil, natural resins, cork flour and jute fabric, among other things, and is therefore naturally degradable. Thorough cleaning is very important for any treatment process. That is why cleaning the linoleum is an essential step: To do this, remove coarse dirt and particles from the floor with a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner. If the surface is particularly dirty, a second cleaning step is necessary to obtain an optimal result: Wipe with lukewarm water.
