: : I have a stain on my vinyl floor that was caused when a plastic bag with printing on in fell on the floor and got wet while it was lying there. When I picked up the bag, the pink printing which was on it was imprinted on the flooring! I have tried several cleaners on it and nothing has taken it off. I live in an apartment and don't want to get charged for this when I move out. Help, please!
: Hi Anne, you may find success with the following remedy. Carefully saturate a small, white cotton towel/rag with full strength clorox bleach. Lay this on the discolored area overnight. Check it the next morning for any improvement. You may have to repeat the procedure. Good luck and let us know if this helped. Dan...theclaimsadvisor.com
Dear Anne: There's a chemical that possibly would work. I need to know a little more about this. Don't use bleach as this will draw the plasticizer out and create several other problems with your flooring, like discoloring,etc.. My e-mail fcits@alltel.net.
