It isn't appropriate for dank places, such as the basement, where moisture tends to collect. This could also cause the linoleum to curl up from the sub-flooring.
Not sure how to make your counter tops stand out? Well, try linoleum! Everywhere but the kitchen that is. Because the linoleum has an acrylic finishing, it shouldn't be place near food, only you stringently use cutting boards and plates set over the counter top.
Linoleum: Just So Easy to Take Care of and Enjoy
A good sweeping, mopping and sponging, or spot clean (where necessary) is all that your linoleum needs get rid of messy spills, dust or dirt tracked in by walkers. A good mop and cleaner should do the trick. It isn't recommended to soak the linoleum tiles in a lot of moisture; the seal may loosen it around the edges, causing it to curl. Don't use to harsh of a cleaner, as it may fade the color of the linoleum.
Lineoleum floored areas are a terrific place for parties and high traffic areas: it maintains its appearance during a lot of usage. It is also really quiet and shock absorbing, also repelling dirt and pollens, because of its anti-static/hypo-allergenic properties.
You CAN Do it Yourself:
If you love to personally make your house into a home, try laying down tiles instead of sheets. It is easier to keep track of and align tiles, than it is for the entire sheet and lying it down evenly. What's even cooler, is that you can install your brand new linoleum over old flooring, as long as it is sealed closely to the subfloor. If it isn't, you will need to remove the old flooring prior to installing the linoleum. JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE OLD FLOORING DOESN'T CONTAIN ASBESTOS: Cut out a small piece of old flooring and take it to a professional for consultation. Don't worry about cost: Linoleum flooring is comparable to carpeting and wood flooring.
