I've got some textured (non slip) vinyl flooring in the workshop (I
think it's Rhino flooring)


I want to return the rest of the floor as close to this if possible.
I've tried many domestic vinyl floor cleaning products but NONE gets the
dirt and grime off to my satisfaction.

Does anyone know of a product that will get this vinyl flooring clean?
either used neat or diluted?

There isn't one. Or at least there isn't one to restore it to as new
condition.

Vinyl flooring has a soft clear wear layer about 0.25mm thick above
the pattern layer and (sometimes) a top thin urethane surface coating
on top of that to reduce scuffing.

Although very robust the clear layers, especially the wear layer, are
relatively soft and the surface quickly gets covered in fine
scratches. These collect dirt and cannot be completely cleaned. The
more abrasive a cleaner you use the more effective it will be at
creating a temporary clean appearance at the expense of making more
abrasions so the floor will get dirty quicker.

The one way which does work moderately well is detergent plus a very
firm scrubbing brush (marine short bristle deck brushes work well) and
pressure. Unfortunately this takes time and most people have better
things to do than get on their hands and knees with a stiff scrubbing
brush and lots of water for an hour or so once a week.

Some people have reported some success with steam cleaners but no
matter what you do the floor is still covered in surface scratches
which collect dust and dirt and will revert to looking discoloured
fairly quickly. It isn't possible to make them look like new again.
