How to Get a Yellow Bleach Stain Off Linoleum

Yellow bleach stains on linoleum may occur due to overuse of bleach-based cleaning products or even wax that is applied to floors for a shiny appearance. As with any stain, cleaning it as quickly as possible can increase the odds of success, but remember that the bleach stain may be impossible to remove completely. Some basic household items can help reduce the appearance of the yellowish stain, however, and might make the stain almost unnoticeable.

Broom and dustpan
Nonabrasive household cleaner
Vinegar
Cream of tartar
