I have terrible yellow stains on the linoleum floor in my bathroom. When I first moved in I tried several cleaners, but none of them worked. I researched a bit and today I’m going to try a solution of vinegar and baking soda along with a cleanser called the bar keeper’s friend. I have used that one in the past for rust in a sink, tub and toilet and it worked well. I have my fingers crossed today that it will work!
Apparently, when older linoleum isn’t exposed to light for long periods of time it can yellow. I believe that is what happened to my floor. Rugs were placed and never removed except for cleaning. There is a yellow outline on the floor where each rug was laid. It makes the bathroom seem dirty and I would be very embarrassed if company walked in there without any rugs to cover the stains. Kind of a catch 22, isn’t it? Lol. Well, come along with me and let’s see if SOMETHING can clean this floor. After all, I can’t afford a new one just yet!

Did you ever get the stains out?
Thanks for posting these tests. These shouldn't even be published as solutions – I had the same experience, going to try dosing my floor with a floodlight.
When you put anything rubber on linoleum it turns yellow. Probably bath mats or rugs with non slip rubber bottoms.
Same sponge with 3 different chemicals lol
Bless ur heart! U really tried and I appreciate that!
The key to these products would be to let them sit for 20 minutes or so. So the products still could have worked but weren’t given enough time.
The rubber or latex back on rugs do this to linoleum floors. Not that they didn't change their rugs or the sun, the reaction of the backing on the rug to the linoleum itself. Just so you know…
you are a fantastic lady xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The thing to use according to flooring experts is acetone. That is the same kind of stuff in nail varnish remover. Make sure the room is well ventilated. Think you can get it on Amazon. Not sure. I realise it is a bit late since you posted 7 years ago. You have probably replaced the flooring now or moved. Might be useful info for other people though. Cheers.

I tried Restore4 abt. 5 yrs ago.. fantastic product.. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it anymore.. I swear it works so good. U see the effect within 20 min.. I wish I can post the bottle here. It’s only restores Vinyl, Linoleum, Formica and Corian
From what I’ve read you need to let the cleaning products set on the floor for 10 minutes before scrubbing it in.
Linoleum (Marmoleum is the brand name) is made from natural materials vs. Vinyl mainly from PVC. Linoleum, when exposed to light, its yellow tint would disappear. Not sure about the poor quality ones though.
Vinyl however would yellow as it ages; you would need a restorer rather than some kind of cleaner to restore the original color, i.e. if it can be done at all.
Baking Soda is only working as a abrasive in this use. The material itself has yellowed. So you need to either use a very fine sand paper,/800, 1000 It will make it dull, and you would see it in certain angles, but if would help get rid of the yellow. BarKeeper may have citric acid in it. Either way, you best bet is Comet with some good scrubbing to have the bleach eat through that top micro layer.
Try some Lime Away. Worked for my white kitchen sink stained with coffer
Maybe Krud Kutter would work.
I think what you're trying to do is remove the original color from the floor – the rest of the floor is bleached by light… that 'stained' area is the way it looked when it was purchased.
Y’all be careful mixing chemicals
Use lacquer thinner.!
I've the same problem the lino is only new four months tried everything but no luck think I need a pro cleaner at this rate
I've been told by flooring experts, that you should never put rugs on your floor that have the rubber backing. Over time the rubber causes the vinyl flooring to yellow and it's ruined in the spot where the rug was laying. If you have a vinyl floor and want to have area rugs they must have a carpet-like finish on both sides! Any use of a rubber type backing or use of a mat to stop sliding of the area rug will cause your vinyl floor to yellow!
The stains are from the artificial rubber backing on your rugs. Laminate and rug chemicals = yellow. I haven't managed to get rid of my stains either.
When you drop food on vinyl, clean immediately
I dropped curried mince on the vinyl, I didnt clean it up till next day which left a small yellow stain. What to do?
Just read e how video. Lady says it is a reaction from rubber. That's makes sense for you and I have a rubber mat over my floor. She recommends 1 tablespoon of baking powder with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. After that putting on a sealer. I tried it and left it on for a bit. The yellow stain has gone so very pleased. I didn't put on a sealer as the whole floor isn't affected.
Just paint your floor
Please try keeping the baking soda on for a few hours mixed with water. A book titled "The hidden chemistry in everything" says to let it soak and there will be a reaction between the baking soda and the grime. Won't take everything off, but it will take some off.
peroxide and a UV light
How about peanut butter
Once before I used a straight baking soda paste on a bad carpet stain, I laid a damp rag over it and it drew the stain out , so now Im trying it on linoleum. Nothing added to the baking soda.
