Cleaning Vinyl Floor Tiles

I have white, faux marble vinyl tiles in the foyer and in one of my bathrooms. The only thing that cleans this tile is Formula 409. Spray it on, let it set for about a minute, then mop it up with a damp mop. Up will come all that dirt and grime that was immoveable before. Works every time without fail, like magic.

Cleaning vinyl floor tiles, having read the comment that steam cleaning was the way to go, I tried this, it did not work and the tiles shrank so new tiles now needed.

If you are still having problems send me an email. I strip and wax vinyl floors and will offer some advice to you. kennethleehutch AT netzero.com

I use Goo Be Gone on the difficult areas. The Armstrong dealer told me to use SoftScrub which also works.

I have a H2O mop that uses water and does a fast and thorough job it is from a company called Thane I' would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I have new vinyl floor tiles, what do you clean them with, so they won't become dull?

RE: Cleaning Vinyl Floor Tiles

I don't have new vinyl, or even fairly new, but all the recommendations that I've seen in the past weeks have said equal parts of Vinegar and Water. Nothing else. I used this solution on my hardwood floors and it cut the crud like you wouldn't believe. People swear by it, and well, it's inexpensive too. I buy a small bottle, and then it's easy to know the ratio 1:1. I fill it with water after emptying the vinegar. Best of Luck to You. (05/23/2005)

Thank you, CndyHnt (4), I'll try it! I had also heard about the vinegar, but I didn't believe it. (05/23/2005)
