Title: Lino floor
Post by: colin jones on March 02, 2006, 08:34:39 pm

Hi
I've been asked to deep clean 5 stairwells, each with a different coloured lino.
Property is 4 years old, and mainly stair treads are grubby / ingrained with dirt.
I've tested one tread in each stairwell, using cleaning fluid and scourer, which has lifted out dirt.
Is this the way to go, and was thinking of using Prochem Alkleen as solution sprayed on before scrubbing.

What are your thoughts? Ideas / advice appreciated.  :)

Cheers

Colin

I would use a small amount of floor stripper in warm water mop on leave a few minutes and the re mop should take all grim off
