Even though damaged linoleum can be fixed more efficiently
and easily than other surfaces – and replacing linoleum is much cheaper than,
for example, tiles or hardwood – vacuuming linoleum floors should still be done
with great care.
Linoleum surfaces can be quite resilient, but they can still
be damaged by a vacuum cleaner with coarser accessories. As the insert rubs on
the surface of your linoleum floor, you might tend to press it more against the
floor to get rid of some stubborn dirt or grime. In the process, it could leave
some unsightly scratches and marks on your floor.
To prevent that, you can do a number of things:
1.
Use a soft brush accessory to vacuum your
linoleum floors without causing it any damage.
2.
Leave hardened dirt and grime where it is,
vacuum around it, and then use other cleaning tools and formulas to remove the
stubborn pieces of dirt without hurting your linoleum floor.
3.
You can also soften the dirt first using a soap-based
formula with warm water, then allow it to dry before using your vacuum to
remove the pieces that still remain.
Of course, it’s also important to use a high quality vacuum
cleaner for the job. If your old vacuum is struggling, instead of pressing it
harder against your linoleum floors, consider buying a new one or have your old one repaired at https://www.arvadavacuum.com/ to remove all
the dirt without so many efforts and risks.
