Scrubbing vinyl tiles - what do you do?

8 replies

My pale karndean vinyl kitchen flooring looks grubby. I usually use the hard side of a kitchen sponge to lift the dirt then mop it but it's a large area and takes forever. Was wondering what anyone else used on large areas. Scrubbing brushes? Little scrubbing machines?
Grateful for any tips!!

I basically just use hot water with the hard side of the sponge and some cif or jiff as it used to be called. Make sure you wear kitchen gloves too.

@LuluLouise that's what I've been doing but because it's a large area it took me so long and got me wondering if there's some wonder product out there that I'm missing, like a giant sponge on a stick that vibrates - ha ha I'm going crazy aren't I!

Would a steam mop work?

Not supposed to use a steam mop on LVT apparently otherwise I defo would.

Lol no you're not going crazy, I totally agree, I wouldn't want use a sponge on a large floor either! There mus be some sort of machine available to hire or buy, surely. But then you're getting into extra costs and all that. I'll have a think🤔

Someone cleaning related told me today I need an agitator apparently! What has my life become? 😂

You need an electric scrubber. Check Amazon. A full size one, not a wee grout cleaner size.

I saw a video the other day of someone who cleans car interiors and he had a soft brush that attaches to a regular electric drill. Have to say I was tempted.
