How to: Rejuvenate Dull Vinyl Tiles

vinyl.jpgNobody likes to be called dull. So bring back your dull vinyl flooring to its former glory with a trip down to your local janitorial supply store and a little elbow grease.

Youll first need to clean the flooring thoroughly with an ammonia-based cleaner. This will not only remove film residue, but also prepares the floor for the next step.

 
 

Using a commercial grade floor sealant (such as Trewax Gold Label Sealer Wax), apply an even coat of wax, and then follow with a second coat applied at a 45 degree angle (additional thin coats can be added to further increase shine). Upon drying, you should be rewarded with a sparkling floor and a great spot to host your next breakdancing competition.
