Linoleum, made from ground wood or cork and usually linseed oil, is susceptible to discoloration. This is a guide about cleaning discolored linoleum.
I had new wood-grain linoleum put on my kitchen floor. I had my dog's water dish on a carpet in the kitchen. When I went to scrub the floor, the floor underneath the water dish is now almost white. Is there anything I can do to revive the color in the floor?
Please help! My husband is going to be really upset.
Thank you,

Remove the rug and let floor dry thoroughly...Perhaps you could try using wood stain, on the discolored linoleum, using a paint brush, to brush the stain on the linoleum...OR, you could try clothing dye...Mix a "strong" solution, if using powdered dye or use straight out of the bottle, if using liquid dye...Brush either of these on with a paint brush also...Good Luck! Let us know if either of these suggestions work!
My linoleum in the bathroom all around the toilet area has turned a reddish or rusty looking colour. I have tried numerous cleaners.

The white linoleum in my bathroom has become yellowed and discolored. When I move a potted plant it was still white underneath. I have tried most things, but nothing is working.

Might be wax buildup. Try stripping the wax then start again. Good luck
I've a 4 year old white linoleum floor in the kitchen. It's starting to show odd yellowing stains in various places.
I am looking for a solution to cleaning my no wax floor which has turned yellow under a rug. Can you please help? Thanks, Margie. Editor's Note: This request was in response to a Linoleum request so I assume she is referring to a No Wax Linoleum floor.
How do I get yellow color off my linoleum floor in my kitchen? It maybe due to use or the way I've been cleaning it. It's about 7 years old? Please help me I've tried everything.
I have white vinyl linoleum that has become discolored. What can I do to bring back the white?
A set of those gel window clings accidentally were put on some bathroom linoleum wall tile (it's one of those full sheets with a smooth, plasticy surface, not porous tiles).
