Inlaid Linoleum
Dear Aunt Daisy, We have some new inlaid linoleum which seems to me to be very porous compared with older lines. I find it difficult to work up a high polish and as it is receiving hard wear, I would be grateful if you could suggest any method for quick polishing, to prevent scratchings,
etc.

Probably some other owners of this new inlaid linoleum will write and offer their experience. I understand that it should never be washed. A very good polish is on the market now, which I use myself, a thick, white emulsion which is non-slippery and very easily kept rubbed up with a mop, I can give you its name if you send me a stamped addressed envelope. Some people like to give their linoleum a coating of clear, colourless varnish obtainable from the good paint-shops. The one I mean has a very hard surtace, and, of course, keeps the lino like new. :
