Yellow Stains on Vinyl Floors from Area Rugs

RE: Yellow Stains on Vinyl Floors from Area Rugs By Jessica (Guest Post) I tried baking soda and it worked. All you have to do is wet the surface and apply the baking soda and leave for at least 10min and remove it with a cloth and the stain is gone.

Could this be caused by the rubber soles of shoes?

I have also tried everything including sanding and nothing works. The only thing that seems to approach working is exposure to sun light. Another case of lack of regulation and letting manufacturers put out trash products at the peril of the consumer. It is a toss up as to who bears the most blame; the rug merchant or the vinyl manufacturer. Ops just does not cut it. Posted on 12/09/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Yellow Stains on Vinyl Floors from Area Rugs By Will (Guest Post) The staining is most likely attributed to the antioxidants that are placed into the rubber backing to help maintain the rubber's integrity. Over time and exposure to UV and Ozone, rubber products can break down. (dry rot). The problem lies in that these types of chemicals are migratory and tend to leach into adjacent products such as vinyl. Once they migrate, they can not be permanently removed.

Any ideas that would be helpful that would be great. I agree why would they make rugs that do this!!""
