We start with the fact that we remove from the premises all objects standing on the floor. If the room has a baseboard, then you need to remove it. Next, you need to remove the old flooring, clean the floor from dust and debris with a vacuum cleaner or a broom. It is worth worrying about measurements in advance, to the length and width, you need to add 5 centimeters, since the walls can be uneven and linoleum may not be enough.
When starting laying linoleum, it is worth remembering that the temperature in the room should be at least 15 degrees. After purchase, linoleum needs to "rest" in order to avoid bends and creases. A day before you start work, spread this floor covering on a clean floor, in the order in which you plan to lay it.
An ideal option would be if the linoleum is solid. If you have to lay it in several pieces, then make sure that the seams are in the middle.
