How do I clean an badly stained bathroom linoleum floor?
I've been searching online and can't find anything, I know I will get some good answers here.

It's stained from a toilet leaking multiple times and the water just sitting there on the floor. I've tried bleach, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and vinegar and a Mr Clean eraser.

There are grey stains on the floor yet. Please help.

And so sorry to take you away from your doom for this.

I would think that the floor would have to be replaced. I don't know of anything that would work to remove that kind of stain.

Re: How do I clean an badly stained bathroom linoleum floor?
Linoleum really sucks when it comes to stains ! It was good about 20-30 years ago, but today there is much better stuff on the market. Alot of the self adhesive tiles sold today are very resistant to staining or discoloration.

Me, personally, I would replace said floor with ceramic tile, but if money is an issue - go to Lowes or Home Depot and get some of the newer "laminate" self adhesive tiles - they don't cost that much. Rip up the old linoleum floor, clean it good and put down the new tiles. It's pretty easy and most of the new tiles you get can be cut with heavy duty scissors.

I painted mine white with three coats of latex. Made a very light thin rug to go around it that I can drop in the washing machine ever month or so.

Or replace

Paint it yellow with brown spots so that stains don't show up so much?

Restore 4 works on a lot of bathroom and tile things. But it would probably melt the linoleum.

You can get boxes of adhesive backed tile for about $10 at the Family Dollar Store. With two boxes, I did a bathroom and a kitchen in about two hours. Easy.

You can get great real tile at Home Depot or Lowe's, cheap. The wood laminates are also cheap to do a small room.

You will thank yourself everyday for doing new.

Thanks for all the great replies. Making a joke of it all makes it seem not so bad.
Will look into the laminate & the painting & all the cleaning, actually will look into ALL of it, start with the easiest cheapest thing and work my way up.
I may end up with the torch after all is said & done.
Thanks you wonderful GLPers.

Actually..It has been man..many,,years since I have had to deal with "Lenolium"..I am not going to read the other posts. If the floor is worth saving...it is probably coated in old wax. Strip it with Amonia...Bleach it....Scrub it with soap and water...rinse it well...(use good industrial cotton mop found at home depo for this)...dry..and wax with a professional wax.

Keep on it!

Mop...Strip....Wax..Mop..Strip..WAx..Mop..Strip..Wax....

OR!...Replace with a modern flooor!

Like others said, Buy the shelf adheisive 12x12 squares. They come in many nice designs. Stick them right over your old stuff. A pair of scissors to trim where you need. about 99 cents a piece! looks like new and is! when your done.
