How to Make Your Vinyl Floors Shiny With Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1). Remove any loose dirt, dust and debris from the vinyl flooring with a broom or dust mop. Avoid using a vacuum to clean the flooring as the beater bar and plastic wheels can cause scratching and pitting.
- 2). Create a mixture of one-half cup apple cider vinegar, one tbsp. liquid dish soap, one tbsp. mineral oil and one gallon warm water in a plastic bucket. Stir the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed.
- 3). Dampen a mop with the mixture and clean the linoleum floor. Continue to clean the floor, rewetting the mop when necessary, until it is completely clean.
- 4). Rinse the mop under a cool tap and fill a separate plastic bucket with plain, lukewarm water. Dampen the mop with the plain water and use it to rinse the vinyl flooring.
- 5). Dry the flooring immediately with a soft towel to remove the remaining soapy residue and prevent watermarks and streaking.
