Help with Removal of Rubber stains on Vinly flor

robellett

Hi, I left a tyre on my kitchen vinyl floor, finding a tyremark tread 'stamped' into the floor on its removal. Sadly a floor mate also had a rubberised base and has done the same.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of the stains please?

Have tried Vanish, clothes washing detergent and a host of things in the house.

Thanks alot.

try some white spirit on a cloth and clean off after with warm soapy water

I was told to use nail varnish remover... I would recommend trying on a hidden area first though to make sure your vinyl floor can take it... But it's supposed to get lots of things of vinyl...

Try WD40 - I have successfully removed stubborn marks from our kitchen vinyl flooring.

Be careful of this - it could melt the vinyl! One of those solid eraser blocks (Lakeland do them, but Lidl have them in at the moment, much cheaper) might do the trick.

Bar Keepers Friend - from big supermarkets and hardware stores.

Thanks folks for your tips. Will try them out, hopefully not all of them until it vanishes!

Will report back with results.

Will be very interested to hear which one worked.
