I'm looking for a strong cleaner for linoleum and vinyl tile. Biggest
problem is the tile installer smeared tile cement along many of the seams
between tiles. A "Magic Eraser" helps remove it but takes a great deal of
scrubbing and wears out the expensive pads quickly. Goof Off barely worked.

Suggestions please? I looked in Walmart today but didn't see anything.
Bought Kaboom liquid cleaner but don't expect much success.

TIA

Test in an inconspicuous area to see how well these work for you.

1. Scotch scrubbing pads. They're a lot better for this type of work
than a Magic eraser, and will last longer. In fact, their floor
cleaning machine pads are made from the same product.

2. Straight ammonia is a heck of a solvent for getting a lot of stuff
off vinyl and linoleum floors. Put a spoonful over a small section of
the cement, wait five-ten minutes, then scrub it off, see if it
helped. If so, ventilate the area very well and keep at it.

I knew a floor installer who used charcoal lighter fluid to clean off
dried adhesive. But that was years ago. THe adhesive may not be the same
now. But it's worth a try. Of course do it safely. It is flammable!

Call the stink-eye installer back and make his ass clean it.

Discovered that Goof Off spray applied with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pad
takes it right off. Does not seem to loosen tiles or cause other
problems.
