Stained linoleum, please help!

[v.t.]

Part of our bathroom tan tile is now a reddish pink. I guess one of the many cleaning products used (during the last stomach bug) made the burgundy rug stain the floor. Any suggestions as to how to remove the stains? Thanks so much.

Did you try a magic eraser?

It is is linoleum, you may be out of luck. When we bought our house in Florida, there were yellowish stains on the linoleum from the previous owners bathroom rugs. I tried EVERYTHING, down to stripping the wax off the linoleum, and nothing worked. We eventually just put down ceramic tile.

Tried it, no luck, but it did take the nerf dart stains off the baseboards. LOL

I think you are right, looks like I am going tile shopping.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I used ammonia to remove stains from my berber carpet and it worked great, so I think ammonia might be good in your situation, too.
