Mix one gallon of hot water, one cup of vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap. Mop the floor with the mixture, using the scrub brush to remove stubborn dirt, or in high traffic areas. Once the entire floor has been cleaned, mop once more using clean water to remove any traces of baking soda or soap residue.

Also, can you use vinegar on linoleum? To clean linoleum with vinegar, start with dirt- and dust-free floors. Damp-mop the floor using the vinegar cleaning solution. You don't want your mop to be soaking wet as the moisture can damage the linoleum. Wring out most of the water so your mop is just damp.

Vinegar and Baking Soda
