If the flooring is linoleum then the cause is most likely not dirt but rather moisture from under the linoleum. When moistures comes up from the subfloor/between the subfloor and linoleum it reacts with the linoleum glue and the linoleum glue seeps up and permanently stains the top surface of the linoleum.

No amount of chemicals are going to remove that kind of stain but, if you don't want to completely replace the flooring, there are linoleum paints and paint sealers available.

Have you tried the cleaner you use for the toilet? My husband does that with my wetroom and it comes up sparkling clean.

We too are experiencing the same problem; interesting to read that a toilet bowl cleaner has come up trumps - please elaborate as I would like to avail myself of the same detergent.

Ours is the same. In fact last times flooring was so bad council replaced everyone's in the district. This flooring we have is still awful. It is the bobbly non slip stuff. We chose grey but it looks brown in places no matter what we use.

I use white vinegar and washing up liquid in a bucket of warm water, wet the floor thoroughly and let it soak for 30 minutes then scrub the floor with a brush, rinse well but most important is to dry the floor, I have old towel for the job, if you don't dry water lodge in the little pimple and is where the dirt stays

Hi guys I have had this problem for 7 years. However I have bought a polti vaperetto steamer its fab. It even pushes dirt out from under the toilet base. I use the nozzle on the stubborn marks then the brush adaptor with its cover on.

I also use laundry detergent on the floor. It comes up like new and I wear noidle drying slippers from Amazon to dry as I walk. Hope this helps. The steamers are available on eBay cheaper than rrp
