← Back to How do you put resin on a linoleum floor?

Resin-coated linoleum floors combine the practicality of linoleum with the robust, glossy finish of resin. Keeping these floors clean helps retain their elegant appearance and prolongs their life.
The Best Way to Clean Resin-Coated Linoleum
For day-to-day cleaning, use a soft mop or microfibre cloth. Choose a mild, non-abrasive cleaner diluted in lukewarm water to gently remove surface dirt and spills. Avoid harsh chemical agents, abrasive pads, or rough brooms, which can dull the shine or cause light scratches.
- Mop with only lightly damp—not soaked—tools
- Wipe up spills quickly to prevent staining
- Let the floor air dry or use a soft towel for a streak-free finish
Maintaining the Resin Gloss and Preventing Damage
Resin’s glossy finish enhances linoleum, but it’s important to preserve this layer. Place felt pads beneath furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor. Regular dust-mopping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment also helps stop grit from scratching the resin surface.
If you notice dulling over time, a light, non-abrasive polish approved for resin can be used occasionally. For larger refreshes, or to address visible scratches, consider reapplying a thin coat of a suitable clear epoxy resin such as “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin.
When This Matters: Households with High Footfall
Resin-coated linoleum is an excellent choice for busy spaces. However, homes with children, pets, or considerable foot traffic need consistent upkeep to prevent wear. Using protective mats at entrances can help trap dirt and moisture before it reaches your floor.
