How To Clean A Really Dirty Vinyl Kitchen Floor
Hello I moved into this house and the kitchen floor is really dirty, what can I use on it that cleans the best?
Until I can afford a new vinyl floor! Thanks

I've had a few vinyl floors in the past, and I haven't found anything that will really clean them, and I've tried several things. The Magic Eraser may help for spot cleaning, but nothing for the entire floor.

Need to answer Mitch's question on what you have tried.....but far too often people use things like Mop-n-Glow to make the floors looks shiny. This just traps dirt and crud and the floors will look dingy over time.
The best thing I've ever found is an ammonia cleaning mixture. Non-foaming ammonia and hot water (mixed per the bottle instructions, about a 1/2 cup per gallon) and a relatively soft bristle brush...followed by a clean water mopping.

Vic's ammonia suggestion sounds good to me as well. That said, a little ventilation is a good idea when working with that stuff.
