Is Armstrong Floor Polish, which is for "real" linoleum, also suitable
for the more prevalent synthetic "vinyl" linoleum," or not?

I learned recently the original forumlation of linoleum was from an
oil ("oleum") of the linseed plant ("lin"). But it's rare if not
obsolete now, having been replaced by vinyl made in the chem lab. I
refloored my bathroom and put in real linoleum. It needs to be covered
with polish, which I did, and the Armstrong Floor Polish is the
indicated product for that. I have a lot of it left over, and other
areas of my house with regular vinyl "imitation" linoleum. Is that
polish OK to use on vinyl, or is it a "real linoleum only" product?

Most vinyl flooring does not require wax. In fact, the wax won't stick to
many of the vinyls.

Is this a paste wax (typical for linoleum) or liquid? You'd stand a better
chance of it possibly working with paste wax.

Thank you. It's liquid. It's shown he

I think I'll just reserve it for my real bathroom linoleum, and
consider myself lucky to have a 2-lifetime supply.
