Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Flooring

[Amy Hartman (amyehart]

I have been reading with interest the flooring thread, including different 
perspectives about maintaining marmoleum.  I love our marmoleum and will 
probably replace it with more marmoleum, but it has not been durable even in 
our small home kitchen.  Installed it in 2008, and in 2024 the floor has water 
spots and areas of shadow in areas where there is traffic, dings from dropped 
knives, and a dull appearance.  I am not sure whether this was wrong 
maintenance on our part or just how it wears.  The Forbo website has 
maintenance guidance for commercial applications (floor buffer, etc), but not 
sure how people care for this in residences.  Welcome any advice about caring 
for marmoleum.
