How to get white lino flooring clean?

Please help. Smile

We are living in a rented house with a white, yes white lino flooring in the kitchen. I try and wash it everday but it never looks clean, how can i get it looking decent before we have our house inspection.

I am a bit wary about using neat bleach as there is carpet in the next room clumbsy

TIA

They shouldn't deduct any money for wear and tear and frankly if they have white flooring then they should expect discolouration. Sounds like you have been looking after it so I wouldn't worry. I think you probably will though so I would go with a hot bucket of diluted bleach, but maybe a couple of old towels over the edge of the carpet it meets?

Thanks big, thats reassuring but your right . I have tried the bleach diluted before and it doesn't make much difference but your right it is white after all. Smile

Biological washing powder! It does wonderful things to a floor! The enzymes break down the grease and grime that 'beds' in.

For best results you need to be on your hands and knees scrubbing with it, but it works well with a mop and bucket too.

Smells really nice too Smile
