Very dirty waxed vinyl floors - can be cleaned either a vapor steam cleaner or steam vacuum cleaner. On vapor steam cleaner, use the large rectangular brush. As the dry steam turns on move it back and forth motion like vacuuming then wipe with cotton, industrial sized paper towels or better yet, a microfiber cloth. On the other hand, use the floor squeegee and brush at low or medium pressure when using steam vacuum cleaners.

Moderately dirty waxed vinyl floors – just like the method used above for a very dirty vinyl floors by using vapor steam cleaners with the large rectangular brush. Only this time, cover it with a towel, cloth or microfibre for improved efficiency in a vacuuming motion. Same also when using a steam vacuum cleaner with the floor squeegee and brush at low or medium pressure. 

For heavily soiled floors - use the steam cleaner and vacuum separately for a most effective result. Slightly soiled floors use the steam cleaner and vacuum features simultaneously for even faster cleaning.
