We just moved to find the kitchen floor really dirty. I've tried a steam cleaner with no luck. Do you have any suggestions to get the dirt out of the floor cracks? I do have a dog, we don't want anything to poisonous.

I use Soft scrub on just about everything. It's great. I had a hair spray build up on my daughters bathroom floor. Scrubbing on my hands and knees didn't even take it up, but the soft scrub started working right away and within seconds it was gone. And they have a great new orange scent.

there is a product as "stripper" exclusively for vinyl tiles. use this after you wipe all the dirt you can manage with a damp cloth. right after the stripper apply the wax - there's one exclusively for vinyl.
it should be done in a CLEAN-WAX-SEAL method.

visit your handyman store. there's is a 1-2-3 step liquid chemicals for this type of job. after that, you just wipe it with damp cloth to clean.
