How to Paint Vinyl Flooring

Clean the floor

• This is the most important step. Your floors must be extremely clean, with no dirt or debris, before they can be painted. If not, specks of dirt will be sealed in. Take your time and be patient.
• Start by wiping down the whole floor with a water-soaked rag. If painting a large area, use a mop.
• Use a cleaning brush to scour the surface and free any stuck-on dirt. Grab a scraper tool for stubborn pieces.
• Finish the by scrubbing your floors with a cleaning agent. The Rust-Oleum Kit comes with a heavy-duty liquid cleaner that removes any remaining grease and grime.
  • Use a reusable face respirator to ensure you don’t breathe in any fumes.
