Yellow Stains Around Heater Vents on Linoleum Floor

Re: oven cleaner on linoleum Post By Carol (Guest Post) (07/02/2007) What a rotten thing to remove. Tried absolutely everything in the cleaning closet. At last a solution. Mix oxyclean powder into a thick paste to scrub away the oven cleaner. It takes a lot of elbow grease but does remove it.

RE: Yellow Stains Around Heater Vents on Linoleum Floor Post by klucretia (15) | (02/23/2005) Contact An easy way to see if it is wax buildup is to just take a little amonia mixed with water, just in a small paper cup, about half and half. Dab some on the yellowed area and wait a couple of minutes. It it turns sticky and comes up, then it is wax. If nothing happens,it could be heat damage and you will save scraping it and possibly damaging already brittle tile. If you are lucky and it is wax, you can use amonia/water, about 1 pt ammonia to 3 pt water to strip just the small area and save yourself a ton of work.

I use a scraper and scrape it off. Every so often, I strip my floor and re-wax.
