Soapless Suds Good for Dishes Not Floors
The synthetic detergent powders, popular for dish washing, remove oil well and suit greasy pans, but are a drawback for linoleum paint and wood finishes as oil in those surfaces is drawn out. Even soap dries linoleum. frequent waxing and occasional oiling maintain condition. Boiled linseed oil can help if surfaces show scarring or drying. Apply to clean dry linoleum, wait 48 hours, then wash off the wax.
