How to remove a mysterious red stain from the floor?

best stain removercleaning suppliesjanitorial suppliesremoving stains

On the linoleum tile of my floor, there is a mysterious red-pink stain, and I have no idea what it is. I tried hairspray on the stain, as well as Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Lysol, and even vinegar.

Is there anything else I should be trying? The stain isn’t my fault, as it was there when I moved in, but, I don’t want to get pegged for it when I move out.
It’s white linoleum.

    I would try hydrogen Peroxide. It might work.

    Is it a dark coloured lino?
    As if it is it could be a bleach stain.
    When bleach reacts with dark colours it sometimes goes a reddy colour.
    I have no idea why, just have the clothes and items to prove it lol

    I had a similar issue before, and the only way I was able to remove the stain was to strip and refinish the floor. If all else fails, try some floor stripper coupled with an abrasive sponge. However, if you don’t want to take that route, try some alcohol or a substance called "Protein Spotter". Best of luck removing the stain!
