Cleaning the floor with Forbo's Neutral PH Cleaner, followed by their Marmoleum Floor Finish, should rejuvenate any areas that are dull or worn. These are both non-toxic products made by the same manufacturer as Marmoleum.
For dings and scratches, it is recommended to make a mixture of powdered linoleum and regular glue such as Elmer's. If you have any extra pieces of linoleum, you can scrape the surface and grind the scrapings into a powder. Mix that with glue, and apply it as a paste to fill small dings. When it is dry, you can sand the surface with fine steel wool to ensure a smooth, flat surface. We have samples of Marmoleum if you do not have any extra.
As for seams, you would want to make sure there is no dried glue or debris underneath the tiles. That way, if you were to re-glue the floor it would lie flat.
Forbo's Sustain 885 adhesive is the recommended glue to use with Marmoleum. If it's a small area to repair, you can use an adhesive like BuildSecure, which is a strong, non-toxic construction adhesive that comes in a 10-oz caulking tube.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.
