Check out my friend Jessica’s blog over at mom4real, she has amazing cleaning tips and hopefully one for your carpet Thank you so very much for this info!
Yes, that’s right… I’m part Fairy God Mother.. part Evil Step Mother! Our floor isn’t even a year old yet, but no matter how many times we mopped, it would still look dirty.
Stubborn stains may need a little scrubbing with a scrub brush, but it does come off. ?Hi Kathy, I’ve never used this method with a steam cleaner, that was not part of my instructions I’m afraid!
I’ve never had a waxed floor so I’ve not had the opportunity to test that out. It sounds like adding the steam is what caused the issue on the floor. That’s awesome! It was pretty gross!
Finally, after years of searching, something that actually worked to clean my textured vinyl floors.
The bubbles did the job. I would try mopping it, with water, and NO steam and see if that corrects it.. Other than that I don’t know what to tell you, I can only vouch for the process the way that I did it and wrote about it.
I have a huge area in my foyer, hallways and kitchen, eat-in-dining area with a vinyl tile faux white marble flooring!Thank you!
I will always keep srubbing bubbles in stock in my cleaning supplies. I didn’t know you can use it on Windows!Gotta say that this was one fantastic, really works tip.
The grime came out.
I spent my weekend working on my 23 year old vinyl strip wood look floor and I cannot stop staring at it.
You may want to test it out in a small inconspicuous spot before trying it on the whole floor.I red it today and my floor in my kitchen looks knew. Thank you! I been trying to clean my floors like this since I moved in my apartment in may and nothing worked!You saved my kitchen floor!
Give it a try and see if it works for you.I discovered this last year out of sheer frustration at trying everything to get the grime off of a mostly white vinyl floor. Mind you I’ve tried many things….vinegar and baking soda…best thing I found to disinfect and clean with pets; apple cider vinegar and baking soda…did a smidge better job, but still not to my satisfaction. My 5 year old linolium floor looks so dingy. I mean, really clean.
Our church kitchen has this and it never seems clean, no matter what we do. Tested a spot after searching Pinterest for how to clean grimy vinyl and it brought me here. Good luck to you!Looks great Karen. Actually my husband was the one that made her mop it, in order to work off the cost of a speeding ticket, that she acquired. I did put wax on the floor to make it easier to clean when I did clean it. I can’t wait to get my floor clean now. !Similar story to Beth’s. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this tip! Sorry for the soapbox.This is a little off the subject of cleaning vinyl floors but would like to know how to bring back the shine in worn spots by the kitchen table made by constant rubbing of chairs– after I have done this wonderful cleaning .
hopefully you will keep posting such blogs hereThanks Karen! Thank you!I love this I can’t wait to try it the floor looks just like mine . I never write post, however I need to first thank you for this amazing suggestion and let anyone who needs to clean their vinly floor or remove spots from carpet.
Maybe make a speacl trip??
But in the meantime, I cannot STAND walking into this bathroom looking at this god awful ugly beige squared vinyl flooring. Yay!
Still having the same issue. I used to just not look down at the floor….now I can again.
Will this clean flat paint?Not sticky and looks new. I’ve cleaned blinds the hard way too, but according to your readers I don’t need to again!
I doubt that the scrubbing bubbles will get the paint up but the filth I’m anxious to see how well it will clean it up.
I was NOT paid to do this post and I bought my own cans of Scrubbing Bubbles, just wanted to share this awesome tip! The king thought, "Even if she is a miller's daughter, I could not find a better wife for my son."
So I went out Friday night and purchased 4 cans of scrubbing bubbles. Your advise worked like a charm – the Scrubbing Bubbles lifted dirt that I could no longer notice since the floor was uniformly dingy!
