Refinishing Linoleum or Marmoleum

Linoleum has been coined the "40 year floor" for many good reasons. One reason is that is can be refinished. This is accomplished with a floor buffer, cleaner or floor finish stripper and new finish.
Lightly spray the linoleum with the proper amount of cleaner from a hudson type sprayer, scrub the floors with the buffer and black scrubby pad, squeegee vacuum up the old finish, put a fan on to dry quickly...then apply the finish to the manufacturers specifications and viola you have added another "40 years to your floors"...Wow!
