How to Properly Clean Red and White Bathroom Linoleum

Many individuals elect to place red and white bathroom Linoleum in various areas of the restroom of the home. Many place this type of product on the floors, while others may elect to place it on countertops. Regardless of where it is located, it is imperative that you know the proper steps to cleaning to cleaning this type of material. Here, you will find the simple steps and requirements in doing just this!

1. First, you will want to gather some essential supplies. Get out a bucket for the linoleum floor, and a large bowl in order to clean any other linoleum in the room. For the floor, you will need a mop. You will want to gather up a cloth made of cotton for the countertops and other linoleum in the bathroom. You should also purchase a bottle of apple cider vinegar as this has been proven to be an effective cleaning solution.

2. Now, you can choose whether to use straight vinegar to clean the linoleum, or whether to use a combination of vinegar and water. If you elect to put water in the cleaning mixture, make certain that it is hot water. If you have extremely dirty linoleum, then you will want to ensure that you use a lot of vinegar. If you are just doing standard cleaning, then a small amount of vinegar will be appropriate.

3. Many individuals are concerned about scratching the surface of their red and white bathroom linoleum. This is why it is important to use a soft mop, or soft cloth when cleaning the surface of this material. Once you have decided to use either a mop or a sponge, it is important that you thoroughly wet the material. You will then want to wring out the material. You never want to apply the cleaning solution on the linoleum with an extremely wet cloth or sponge. This tends to just make a bigger mess and since the solution will not dry into the linoleum, it can remain wet for a long time to come.

4. Now, scrub down the linoleum with the appropriate applicator – either the sponge or the mop. You should ensure that the entire surface is thoroughly cleaned. Tougher stains may require a little bit more vinegar and scrubbing than areas that do not have stains.

5. Once completed, you may want to put a fan out and turn it on high in order to ensure that the surface dries quickly and completely. I have found that it is best to implement the use of a fan that rotates so that the entire cleaning area can be dried.

As you can see, cleaning the red and white bathroom linoleum is not a difficult task at all. All it takes is a little bit of time, a few supplies, and maybe a fan to help when it comes to drying the material. Once you have done this, your linoleum will appear bright and new once more. You should clean your red and white linoleum at least once a week.
