There is a small yellow stain on the floor that I just discovered. I had a rug there and she did her business on it without me knowing it was there. I went to move the run and discovered it. Any thoughts on how to remove or lighten it?

    Use powdered tide with bleach laundry detergent on it… dampen the area and then sprinkle the detergent onto the spot until it is covered and it has soaked up the dampness leaving a dry thick sprinkle of detergent on top… now scrub it with a DRY washcloth for a minute or two so it will work its way into the natural unevenness of the linoleum. Scrub hard then get a wet scrubbing pad and scrub it again to get up the detergent residue.
    That should take off the initial few layers of stain.
    If its been there for a really long time after you do that you should use clorox kitchen spray with bleach on it with a scrubber but dont scrub too long or you will lighten the spot…..
    If its still there repeat the laundry detergent trick or use a bathroom scum remover spray on it (just use gloves and then mop then area well afterwards to not irritate your cats feet.

    Depends on the color of the floor, if it,s white or off white, I would use a diluted bleach solution. Or maybe white vinegar

    Use Simple Solution first to remove odors it will cause let it soak wet for 24 hours. Then you can use soft scrub allow it to sit for 30 minutes keep it wet and then wipe away you may have to repeat. Keep you cat away from the area while you're doing the soft scrub so she doesn't accidentally walk in it.

    It depend on the color of the floor. If it is white try bleach and those soft plasic scruber thingys oh heck i can not think of what they r called right now but they r flat come in many colors I think u can use them on non stick skillets. I know it well take a while but it works. Then get you some floor wax for that kind of floor and wax it.

    Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. But test a spot where you wont notice it if it changes the shine/color. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work WONDERS!!
