If you ignore your kitchen floors, the grimy old linoleum will become even more grimy.
When you finally take the time to notice said grimy old linoleum, a Swiffer wet mop will not do the trick.
When you realize that your Swiffer isn't going to cut it, you'll have to resort to an actual mop and bucket.
And, because your floors are grimy and old, even your mop and bucket will not do the trick.
So, after exhausting those options, you will realize that you are going to have to scrub your kitchen floor on your hands and knees.
And while you'd rather put it off until tomorrow, you get out your bottle of cleaner, scrub brush, and get to work.
Then cry because you have to wait for the floor to dry before you can have that bowl of Raisin Bran.
And you promise to mop again on Wednesday so you don't have to go through so much next time.
I can relate. My current apartment has this old, ugly linoleum floor in the kitchen and no matter what I do to clean it, it doesn't look clean! I have given up! I've tried mopping, scrubbing, swiffer, everything. It always looks dirty, even when it's clean.
ReplyDeleteI hate linoleum floors - I swear that dust sticks to them more than it sticks to wood or tile. My former bathroom was lineoleum and it haunted my dreams with its sticky dust-catching abilities.
ReplyDeleteSo thank goodness we moved and the house is surprisingly linoleum-free. JOY!
That being said.. the amount of hairspray on my tile floor in my bathroom will probably take a chisel to remove. Oops!
This reminds me that I have to do this before they get out of control.
