Cleaning Vinyl Flooring

I have ground in dirt on old kitchen vinyl flooring. I have tried ammonia and bleach, not at the same time. I got all the old wax build up off, but am left with streaks of cloudy gray ground in dirt. How do I get this floor clean?

A bissell steam mop works well for this. I love mine. I got it at home depo for 60$

I just moved into an old house and the kitchen floor is white speckled vinyl. It is old and very dirty. What is the strongest and best cleaning fluid? It would also be nice if I didn't have to rinse it.


Can you clean vinyl or non-waxed floors with vinegar? How much water and how much vinegar? Can you rinse with alcohol to make it shine?

RE: Cleaning Vinyl Flooring

Over time alcohol will ruin vinyl. It will make it crack. (04/27/2009)

After you clean it use "Future" shine on it to seal it, it will last forever. Found in Aubuchons. (06/05/2009)

What do you use to clean a vinyl floor? I had a floor put down by Empire today, and I have no instructions. Does anyone know if Simple Green is too strong for cleaning it?
