Do not use too much. If the floor is

Linoleum must never be flooded in
cleaning. If the water gets under the
surface it rots the burlap back and
causes the linoleum to bulge and
wear. For general cleaning, sweep

washing is necessary, partially wiring

section at one time, wiping immedi-
ately. Never use washing powders
