Best way to (easily) clean light-colored kitchen linoleum? [View all]


I currently am renting a cute little house with hardwood floors through most of the place, except the kitchen, which is covered in a light (mostly white, some tan) linoleum. I keep the floor swept/vacuumed, but I have never taken the time to scrub the floor. I scrub every other surface in the house, but I will admit that I avoid doing more to the kitchen floor than cleaning up spills, sweeping, and vacuuming often to suck up the kitty-fur tumbleweeds.

As a result, the floor needs to be deep-cleaned.

What is the best way to do this? Is there some non-toxic cleaner that will magically return the linoleum to its pristine white state? Or some super-wonderful mop I can use?

As an aside, why the hell do people ever use light linoleum anywhere?

Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.
