Dye From Rugs Stained My Linoleum

RE: Dye From Rugs Stained My Linoleum Post By (Guest Post) (11/07/2007) Yikes... I am in the same boat... just bought a house and put MY rugs down and it is stained NOW. I have tried straight Bleach, even tried varnish cleaner, tried BORAX cleaning pad and baking soda paste. Still left with stains, thankfully covered by the throw rug, which I wish I could throw away with the stains! Any other suggestions? Thought the Crayola Eraser sounded like an option! Thanks, Josie RE: Dye From Rugs Stained My Linoleum Post By spesialangel (Guest Post) (06/14/2006) I did this same thing almost 19 years ago. My floor still has the same dye stains after all these years luckily hid by the rugs I use. It was a bathroom floor. I have tried everything under the sun to no avail. Even soaked straight bleach on it. Even wear has not removed it. Why cant it stay on fabric like that. Needless to say I never dyed another rug. Good luck.

It's a rental apartment. Please me remove the stain! I tried bleach, vinegar, mostly everything already posted (for magic marker) on linoleum. Any other ideas?

By brenda thompson RE: Dye From Rugs Stained My Linoleum 05/02/2006 Have you tried Ammonia? Let it sit for a couple minutes. Good luck, Ceil By CEIL RE: Dye From Rugs Stained My Linoleum 05/02/2006 Thanks very much! I did try fingernail polish... to no avail. I'll move on to the ammonia and/or the hydrogen peroxide.
