Cheapest temporary floor cover for linoleum in kitchen
For a cheap temporary cover on painted linoleum in a kitchen, avoid outdoor carpets. Use a single coat of floor enamel or deck paint, which will last as long as your budget allows. If opting for alternatives, grass rugs or newer fiber options like polypropelene olefin are more durable and easier to clean, but not as inexpensive.
