How to Get Embedded Dirt From Pitted Vinyl Flooring

Pitted vinyl flooring can easily accumulate all sorts of dirt and other buildup that can become embedded and difficult to remove. It may seem like the obvious thing to do is to use an abrasive scrubber to deep-clean the vinyl, but the truth is that vinyl flooring is very delicate and can get easily scratched. To remove the embedded dirt from the pitted vinyl floor without damaging the surface, you need to use a powerful cleaning agent that will break apart the dirt without requiring any scrubbing.
