Materialeguide · Linoleum
Linoleum renser du skånsomt med Denwax Clean på svampen fra låget, og sæberesterne tager du af med en fugtig, godt opvredet klud, for materialet tåler ikke meget vand. Når overfladen er tør, giver du den et meget tyndt lag Denwax Care, som nærer linoleummet og fremhæver farven, og et par minutter efter polerer du med en tør klud.

En linoleumsbordplade, der trænger til pleje, føles tør og en anelse ru, og farven ser gråere ud end den plejer. Rens den med Clean, og lad den tørre helt. Giv den derefter et meget tyndt lag Care, og polér efter med en tør klud et par minutter efter, til overfladen føles glat og ikke klæber.
Tør pletter op med det samme, før de trækker ind, og vær især hurtig med rødvin og kaffe, som farver kraftigt af. Rens nænsomt med Clean i stedet for at skrubbe, lad overfladen tørre helt, og giv den et meget tyndt lag Care, som ofte trækker farven op igen og gør skjolden mindre synlig. Polér efter med en tør klud et par minutter efter.
Rør svampen rundt i Clean-bøtten fire til seks gange uden vand, og rens overfladen. Tag sæberesterne af med en fugtig, godt opvredet klud, og tør efter med en tør klud, så der ikke bliver stående vand i samlinger og kanter.
Rens gulvet med Clean, og tag sæberesterne op med en godt opvredet klud, for linoleum er følsomt over for fugt. Når gulvet er helt tørt, giver du det et meget tyndt lag Care og polerer efter med en tør klud. Læg hellere lidt på ofte end meget sjældent, for et tykt lag samler snavs.

Sprayen er lavet til tekstil, og til glatte overflader bruger du Care.
Rør svampen fra låget rundt i bøtten fire til seks gange uden vand, og rens linoleummet. Tag sæberesterne af med en fugtig, godt opvredet klud, og tør efter med en tør klud.
Vent, til linoleummet er helt tørt, for plejen sætter sig ikke ordentligt på en fugtig flade.
Stryg Care-svampen et par gange i bøtten, tør den af på kanten, og giv overfladen et meget tyndt lag. Polér efter med en tør klud et par minutter efter.
Virkelig skønt produkt. Har brugt det både på linoleum og læder.
Denwax Clean og Care er uundværlig i min hverdag.
Linoleum does not tolerate harsh products or large amounts of water. Wipe with a well-wrung cloth or mop and a mild soap without abrasives, and avoid flooding the surface. Wipe dry afterwards so no water is left standing. Linoleum should ideally be cleaned often and gently, as it is daily dirt—not the occasional thorough clean—that wears the surface.
Linoleum is a natural material that benefits from care that nourishes the surface and leaves a protective, water-repellent layer. First clean the worktop and allow it to dry. Then apply a thin layer of Denwax Care with a cloth and buff afterwards. This enhances the colour, protects against stains, and makes the worktop easier to keep clean. Repeat at regular intervals.
Maintaining a linoleum worktop is about preventing damage before it occurs. A linoleum worktop is used every single day, and although the material is hard-wearing, it will slowly dry out if it is only washed. Therefore, treat it with a care application a few times a year—preferably more often if it is in a kitchen where food is prepared every day. You can feel when it is time: a linoleum worktop that needs maintenance feels dry and slightly rough, and the colour appears greyer than usual. If you look after it continuously, linoleum will last for decades, which is one of the reasons the material is still chosen for kitchens and schools.
Treating linoleum means applying a thin protective layer to a clean, completely dry surface. First clean with Denwax Clean and allow the linoleum to dry, as the treatment will not adhere properly to a damp surface. Then spread Denwax Care in a thin layer with a cloth, let it absorb briefly, and buff with a dry cloth until the surface feels smooth and is not tacky. Treating a linoleum worktop takes under ten minutes; a floor takes longer, but the method is the same. If the layer is too thick, it will attract dirt, so it is better to treat often with a little than rarely with a lot.
A care product for linoleum must be able to penetrate a natural material instead of forming a film that later flakes off. Wax-based products are therefore better suited to linoleum than most all-purpose products, which often contain silicone or solvents. Denwax Care is made from natural raw materials and works as a care product for both linoleum worktops and linoleum floors, and because it does not form a coating, you can apply a new layer on top of the old one without first having to remove anything. Avoid care products with chlorine, alcohol, or abrasive particles, no matter how well they may work on other surfaces.
Wipe up stains quickly before they soak into the porous surface. For everyday dirt and light discolouration, clean gently with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid chlorine, alcohol, and scouring agents, which can bleach and dry out the linoleum. Stains on a linoleum worktop should be dealt with immediately, especially those that stain strongly, such as red wine and coffee. If the linoleum has already become discoloured, scrubbing harder rarely helps, as the discolouration is usually within the material rather than on top of it. Instead, clean gently, allow the surface to dry completely, and apply a layer of care product, which often draws the colour back up and makes the mark less visible.
Denwax Clean and Denwax Care are our 100% natural products for cleaning and caring for linoleum. Denwax Clean is a gentle cleaner that effectively removes dirt and stains from linoleum floors and linoleum worktops without attacking the surface. Denwax Care is a natural care product that finishes and protects the linoleum surface. Both products are universal and can be used on many other smooth surfaces.
See the linoleum guide below, or learn more about each product by clicking: Denwax Clean and Denwax Care.
Clean the linoleum surface with Denwax Clean and then make sure to remove all soap residue with a damp, well-wrung cloth. Wipe dry with a dry cloth. For linoleum floors, apply Denwax Clean lightly diluted in water with a wrung-out floor mop—do not use too much water, as linoleum is sensitive to moisture.
Apply Denwax Care in a very thin layer to a dry, clean linoleum surface and polish with a dry cloth after a couple of minutes. Denwax Care protects the linoleum and preserves its natural appearance.
NOTE: Polish with a dry cloth shortly after application. A layer of Care that is too thick can leave a slight film on the linoleum—apply sparingly and buff thoroughly.
NOTE: Never apply in direct sunlight during the summer months, and ensure that the item is not overheated by the sun.
Lottes tip
»Læg hellere et meget tyndt lag Care på ofte end et tykt lag sjældent, og polér efter med en tør klud et par minutter efter, så overfladen ikke klæber.«

Linoleum does not tolerate strong, alkaline cleaning agents, chlorine, alcohol, or large amounts of water. It is a natural material that can dry out and discolour from harsh products, and it must not be left to soak. Use a mild soap and a well-wrung cloth.
Very little. Linoleum is sensitive to moisture, so it must never be flooded or washed with a soaking-wet mop. Use a well-wrung cloth or mop, and wipe dry afterwards so no water is left standing in joints and edges.
Yes, a linoleum worktop benefits from care that nourishes the surface and leaves a protective, water-repellent layer. Denwax Care enhances the colour, makes the worktop more resistant to stains, and makes it easier to keep clean on a daily basis.
Clean linoleum regularly, and give worktops and floors in use a care treatment a few times a year. Surfaces that are used a lot, such as a kitchen worktop, benefit from it more often so they do not dry out.
Soft soap can be used in small amounts, but too much leaves a greasy, sticky film that attracts dirt. A mild soap without fats is usually better and gentler on the linoleum surface.
Linoleum becomes dull from wear, dirt, and lack of care, and discolouration can come from moisture, rubber, or harsh products. Regular gentle cleaning and a care treatment keep the colour deep and the surface even.
A wax-based care product without silicone and solvents, which can penetrate the material instead of sitting like a film on top. Denwax Care is made for exactly that type of surface.
Soap flakes can be used on a linoleum floor if the solution is weak. If you use too much, the soap leaves a dull film, and on a worktop that film becomes sticky and attracts dirt.
Wipe up the stain immediately and clean with mild soap and a soft cloth. If it has had time to soak in, it is more effective to clean gently and then care for the surface than to scrub hard.
Clean regularly, and give the floor a care treatment two to four times a year. If it is in a high-traffic area, you should expect the higher end.
Cleaning removes dirt from the surface, while treatment applies a protective layer afterwards. If you only do the first, the linoleum will gradually become dry and dull, no matter how clean it is.
