Hardwearing and easy to clean, lino is the lazy housekeeper’s friend.
Every day: Linoleum is a little fastidious – it’s all natural you see, so slightly less impervious to spillages. You can still clean it using a mild (non-acidic) detergent and a well-wrung mop, but it will stain more easily, so wipe up any spills immediately.
Discoloured or tired-looking lino may need re-waxing - check the manufacturer’s recommendations for stripping and reapplying the wax coating.
Marks can be removed with a fine nylon pad – look for them in supermarkets.
Don't hold me to this one but my Gran swears that if you want to make an old lino floor look great you can use a mix of turps and fresh milk, and then polish it with a cloth - she is very old though...
