Cleaning Sticky Vinyl Floor

I have vinyl flooring in my kitchen. The last time I mopped it, I used a lysol all purpose cleaner with a sponge mop. It looked shiny and clean, but it is now very sticky. I have tried to re-mop 3 times with just plain warm water and the sponge mop, as well as another time with just a warm towel. It is still sticky. How in the world can I get rid of the stickiness? I am expected lots of company in less than a week and need a solution!!

Thanks, Marbranson

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Read More

Removing 1960-1970s type vinyl flooring from hardwood floors

awaring on Sep 01, 2003

I am in the process of removing carpet from my living room and have discovered that there is a vinyl flooring adhered to the hardwood. I have done a bit of internet research and found quite a bit on asbestos and am very concerned. Should I be or can I just remove it myself? Any suggestions on how to remove it? I have removed the carpet from the bedrooms and hallway and there is beautiful hardwood flooring underneath that will need a bit of restorartion to clean-up. I did find, however, in one of the bedrooms where 1 to 1 1/2 inch holes drilled out (two in the closet and on near a internal wall)...what would that be for? I figure I could just fill them and cut out a plug to repair it.Read More
