Pine rosin, solidified linseed oil, ground cork dust, mineral fillers, and wood flour are combined to create the base and the foundation of the material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When linoleum flooring is installed, it should be carried out by a professional since it involves certain precautions. Although it is resistant to water, it requires a coating of a water sealant. If any areas are missed, it can lead to future water damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of flooring has a lifespan of around 20 years. Sadly, if not professionally installed, it is prone to water damage. An advantage of linoleum is that it can endure wear and tear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to repair and maintenance, an area can be fixed with a new tile or patch without requiring complete replacement. As for maintenance, linoleum can be sensitive to certain cleaners and often need an application of a protective coating every year and periodic waxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_CLR_on_vinyl_flooring\"><\/span><strong>Can you use CLR on vinyl flooring?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CLR can be used to clean vinyl flooring.
