Clean the floor thoroughly with a broom or lightweight vacuum cleaner to remove any loose dirt.
Fill a bucket with diluted household cleaner.
Mop the entire floor with the diluted cleaning solution.
Allow the floor to dry completely.
Rinse the bucket and mop thoroughly.
Refill the bucket with clean water.
Mop the entire floor once more using only clean water. Mopping the floor with clean water removes any residue that might be left behind by your cleaning solution. Residue left behind could dull your floor's shine.
Let the floor dry completely.
Apply a circle of floor wax onto a small section of the vinyl tile floor.
Spread the wax gently over the floor tiles with the new, dry mop until the wax is evenly distributed over this section of the floor. Be careful not to step on any area where you have applied wax. If you do, make sure to mop evenly over the area again.
Repeat the waxing over small sections of the floor until the entire floor is covered with an even layer of wax.
Leave the wax to dry, untouched, for at least 1 hour.
Apply a second coat of wax, using the same steps described above. When applying the second coat, it is a good idea to apply the wax in a different direction. For example, if you applied the first coat in horizontal lines, apply the second coat in vertical or diagonal lines. Alternatively, apply hydrogen peroxide with a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the grout to clean it. You can add baking soda if the stains are deep and difficult to remove. Another method is to use equal amounts of vinegar and water and scrub the grout with a brush. Steam cleaning can be effective if proper equipment is used.
