Stupid Question - how do you clean your floor

[marlasmom]

I can't get my white kitchen floor clean. It is vinyl tile I think - put in by the previous owner. The house is only 3 years old. I mop it and it still looks dirty. I am also having a hard time getting the corners and the areas that the cabinets overhang clean. Any ideas? Thanks.

I had the same problem. I hated it. I had gotten on my hands and knees and scrubbed with no luck.

So when DH was out of town last week I put peel and stick vinyl on top of it.

I just finished cleaning our kitchen floor with it. It's amazing how much "stuff" is left on the floor from other cleaners. I was using another cleaner before & it wasn't getting it clean.
I got the large bottle of concentrate from Lowes'. It's much cheaper than buying it at the grocery store.

Well, the best I have found is a bucket and a rag. My IL's cleaning lady does all the floors this way. I don't think I would get down on my hands and knees with a rag everytime though. It really gets into corners and makes the floor nice and shiny.

With Vinegar, but for tough stains I use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I need to buy stock in these things. They're awesome.

Have you ever tried the regular Armstrong floor cleaner? I'm wondering if the once and done is better. How does it smell?

I no longer have a vinyl floor but I used to have one. I found that once your "finish" on the vinyl starts to wear off, you get this problem. If the finish wearing is the problem (and yes it can happen within 3 years), there's really not much you can do about it.

I like to take the cat and rub hum a cross the floor along with some floor polish..He doesn't like it much but my floor looks great
