How do I clean this sh*t?

[goldenbird]

But for damn sure this floor is going away at some point. Eventually it will peel enough to be a tripping hazard.

They do still sell mop and glo though.
You clean and bleach and rinse linileum and use mop and glo.
Then in a while it gets a wax build up and gets yellow flakey at the edges and you strip that off with ammonia cleanser if I recall correctly and then do over.

Progress!

I will be lovingly vinegar-cocooning all of the hardware and then DS and I are taking a lunch break.

I was going to mention mop and glo. 

Be careful though that shit can be slipperier than ice right after you apply it.

Are you sure that is surface dirt on the linoleum and not mold of some sort coming up? Are there any cuts or areas where moisture could get in in that area?

[dc2london]

What if you tried shaving cream on the floor?

I'm such a noob. Am I supposed to be waxing the floor?

Naw probably not. I don't think anyone waxes the floors anymore. Do they?

My MIL used to wax her linoleum floors up until they redid the kitchen a couple years ago and got tile. She is super type A with cleaning though. I don't know if that is helpful.

[valie]

Yeah, vinegar! A few spots got not-amazing coverage so I'll work those out now and finish cleaning the tub.

The wall behind the toilet, toilet, and floor are next.

Am I being punked? What's that supposed to do?

I am sure of nothing. There are small cuts like the one on the bottom left, and this is a bathroom so there is moisture.

I used to put shaving foam on my kids' desks to clean them. They would have a ball writing letters and drawing shapes in the foam, then we would wipe it off and the previously grimy desks were squeaky clean. :shrug: worth a try?

No problem! There are several good ones on amazon. A much less expensive alternative to getting a water softener for the entire home

This is probably the worst spot on the floor:

Wtf linoleum, why do you have to be that way?

Any better? I scrubbed, used product with bleach and filled the holes with candle wax. Oh well, at least they're clean now.
