If there are several scraps of linoleum left after the repair is completed, everyone has the same reaction - they need to be thrown away or left in the basement "for better times". Throwing away the material is a pity for many, because it is strong and has high quality and water-resistant properties. After a little thought, you can choose one of the following ways to use linoleum.
What to do with linoleum scraps
Carpets for shoes are one of the most popular options for using linoleum after the repair is completed. Make rugs to put in your living room. Linoleum is easy to cut, and you can easily make carpets of the right size from scraps. It is able to protect the floor from dirt and water, especially if it is rainy or snowy outside. So you can protect your home from dirt and dust.
You can also make coasters from linoleum. To do this, you need to first measure the dimensions, and then cut into small pieces of the desired shape. They are resistant to high temperatures, they are easy to wash, and therefore such stands are perfect for hot tea, a pot or a frying pan. For beauty, you can round pieces of linoleum, and decorate the surface with pictures or stickers.
Linoleum will also help protect the shelves. In order for the shelves in the pantry or garage to remain clean and not spoil for a long time, you can cover them with pieces of linoleum. This material is not afraid of dirt, moisture and scratches, and therefore it will perfectly perform its most important function - it will protect the surface of the shelves from damage. Remains of linoleum are not garbage, but useful material in everyday life.
