Linoleum flooring used to be popular in the beginning of the 20th century, but with the recent interest in materials that are environmentally responsible, it has seen a resurgence. Linoleum is made from renewable sources, and with increased interest, prices go down and availability goes up.
Linoleum is very easy to maintain, but there are a few things that you should keep in mind when cleaning it, since it can get damaged by the use of the wrong type of chemicals. Anything that is acidic or alkaline could seriously pit the flooring making it unsightly.
Using a broom or vacuum to clean the floor will be better than using cleaning chemicals. If something more is needed, just water would be your best choice. Do not leave any puddles of water behind, since this could seep into the floor.
Linoleum can be a beautiful, affordable choice that is friendly to the environment. Why not give it a try?
