I have old (20 plus probably) Kentile flooring in my home that I would like to wax. They are very dull and only stay shiny for a short period of time when I wax them with just a generic floor wax such as Johnsons or Armstrong. Does anyone know the proper procedure for cleaning, sealing, waxing this type of floor? Vinyl flooring is the easiest flooring to maintain. It cleans up easily with a myriad of products. I prefer "Armstrong" vinyl floor cleaner. It is available at most supermarkets. Follow the instructions on the label.

You don't need to seal prefinished flooring. Prefinished flooring comes with many coats of factory finish seal which is much stronger than any finish you could apply at home.

Once again I would not recommend doing this unless the factory finish has worn down.
