Hey lucy.
I put down vinyl tiles in my kitchen about ten years ago. My husband and I
installed them, and I think we did a good job cause they've held up and
still look pretty nice.
I use one of those Swiffer Wet jet things on it almost every day. I like it
cause you throw the dirty mopthing away and the dirt's gone.
About once a month I scrub it good on hands and knees. I use a little Mr
Clean or something in warm water to do this.
I have never had any problems with it.
I say go for it!
