The world is mocking me

peppymint1986Since the day I moved into this house nearly two years ago, I have been struggling with the kitchen floor. For starters, it is white (in theory). Made of some kind of plaster with bits of rock mixed in. I swear, it attracts dirt like a magnet attracts iron fillings and is just about impossible to clean.
I tried mopping it with soap and water. The effect was minimal. Then floor cleaner, same result. Then I tried taking a scrub brush to it. That, well I admit it was working before I noticed it was taking chunks out of the floor as well. I even tried pouring non-diluted bleach on it. Nada. The best result was this omni soap but I had to scrub hard with the cloth and use water so hot it burnt.
Where is this going you ask? Yesterday I was cooking when I accidentally spilled some vinegar on the floor. Since it was vinegar and not say honey, I just left it there for a few minutes while I finished what I was doing. Then I went to clean it up. Lo and behold, there is now a perfectly white spot on my kitchen floor.
Arg! If only I had known this when I moved in. Ah well, at least now I will finally be able to get the floor back to its proper color.
