Have you got marmoleum / lino?

[Pinkfizzy]

If so, how do you clean it & how often? Do you buff it frequently with the special polish or not at all?

We're considering it for our kitchen/diner so ano experience would be very helpful.

We have lino, I just sweep it and mop it, occasionally with dry it with an old towel - certainly no buffing or polishing or special cleaners, just a brush and a bucket of water and disinfectant. its fab for the muckiest house in the world with nine dogs, two cats and 6 pairs of mucky farm boots plodding across it all day.

I love marmoleum; we had it in the bathroom at our old house. It's warm and the colours are fabulous. I just swept and mopped it... I didn't know there were special polishes.

Thank you that is what I was hoping to hear
Does it continue to look shiny after just mop/hoover routine? That's fab news.

Our marmoleum wasn't very shiny to start with. It was a beautiful sea green colour with a tiny glitter fleck in, but it wasn't a polished finish.

I've got ceramic tiles in my new house. They're cold, in look and touch and I'm waiting for the moment I can justify changing them

Had it in a previous house and loved it. It was the kitchen floor with the back door opening on to it and was fine with kids / dog in and out. I used a steam mop normally and then marmoleum top up polish every six months. It was never a very shiny finish, sort of semi matt but the colours were lovely and changed as the light did through the day.
It didn't assault china either and was warm - not like our current tile floor.

I have Lino floors downstairs - it's fab, warm underfoot, easy to clean and durable...
