Cleaning Textured Vinyl Flooring

What do you mean 'incorrect'? You've agreed that it doesn't remove limescale, my experience is that it doesn't remove *anything*, it just turns it all white. I suppose that making it white could be called making it clean but that's not really what clean means in my book.

No, it oxidise dyes and makes fats water soluble, so it DOES remove a lot of s*it.

For limescale use acid, but who evaporates quantities of hard water on their vinyl floors?

Star from a false assumption, reach a false conclusion....

Only if you wash as well.

Bleached kitchen & bathroom floors today, no rinsing, they came up almost spotless.

Er...I am struggling to think of someone NOT mopping a vinyl floor they wanted to get clean...

Vacuum first, then wash.

Well yes.

Or brush and pan, scrub off the big stuck chunks, vaccuum, treat with special chemistry, wash.

Spotless yes, but you haven't actually removed any dirt have you? If you didn't rinse it then the dirt can't have gone anywhere.

Of course it did. Look at it this way: there was crusting of muck, after b leaching there is nothing visible, no matter how close you look. Mopping re moved some, chemical reaction with bleach destroyed some, and the next mopp ing will remove any traces left behind - but they're too small to be visibl e. Try it some time.

If you can't see dirt, does it matter? At least until it is so thick you fall over on it, anyway.

Why does it matter if you *can* see it? :-)

OK, so part of the exercise is to make it look nice but for me that's not the major reason for cleaning things.

This voltage is created by airflow. This physical property provides a strong attraction of charged dust particles to the vinyl facade. Can you advise a cleanser product, I am looking now at people say it is like cool, who used this product?

To avoid these negative consequences, you need to know exactly how to choose a mop for laminate. I have read a lot of articles

Just today, or ever since 2016 ?.
