You probably have a vinyl floor not real linoleum. If so after you get it clean, using the ideas above, put 2 thin coats of a vinyl floor finish. this will help you keep it clean in the future. You can use "shinekeeper" from Armstrong or any good floor finish.

I get a toothbrush and a bottle of Greased Lightning (and gloves) and in the evening after the kids are in bed, I turn on the tv or radio or whatever........spray greased lightning, let it sit for a couple minutes and scrub with the tooth brush. Then take a damp rag and wipe up the residue. Do little areas at a time.
This may take you over the course of a few days, but for me I'm home anyway in the evenings, so no big deal.

A long handled linoleum brush, and scrub. Mine does also, a brick pattern, and I use an electric scrubber, but when I don't want to drag that out, I just use the linoleum brush. When I replace it, I'm going to replace it with smooth!

The only thing I would do is get one of those really hard bristle brooms that janitors use and scrub away with that. I used to get down on hands and knees to do it, but my knees and back won't take it anymore, so I went out and got a small janitors broom and can now do it standing up. It's pretty slick.

Get a new floor.
Or you can try one of those steam cleaners.
