Cleaning “sandpaper” floors

We have a 2014 18EC. The floors are some kind of rough, anti skid coating. Does anyone have an idea how to clean them? A mop won’t work. I thought about a long handled scrubber but I don’t know how to rinse. Would it hurt to just spray out and then dry with a blower? ~Teresa

I swept mine out with a stiff broom, then I started in the bathroom on my hands & knees & my butt with a real stiff brush, a bucket of soapy water & a shop vac to keep it vacuumed up as I scrubbed.

It took a while & it was a pain but I got it clean. Then I got a patio rug that you normally use on the outside & put it down to keep some of the mess contained.

Our 2104s has linoleum wood look floors that are grooved so that it looks and feels like real barnwood under your feet and is no-slip. I don't know if it would work for you, but I use a Shark stick vacuum instead of a broom for cleaning/keep up the sand and dirt, and a swiffer mop for mopping. For any bad spot, ahead of swiffer-mopping, I do the hands/knees scrub thing, but only for spot cleaning. Otherwise the swiffer mop does the trick.

That’s kind of what I thought would be involved. Guess I have a project.
