How to Get No-Wax Linoleum Floors to Shine
Many floors are made to shine with the use of floor wax. The wax is applied and buffed to a shine. When the floors become dull, the old wax is stripped, and a new coat of wax is applied. However, "no-wax" linoleum floors are made to shine without the application of floor wax. When these floors become dirty, they become dull. A few household products can bring back the shine and leave no-wax linoleum floors clean and bright. Does this Spark an idea?
