Q: Stains on Vinyl Flooring. My expensive, commercial grade vinyl flooring has muddy looking streaks here and there. The installer and Armstrong will not replace it because it took about three years to appear. They say it must be some chemical on the sub flooring that gradually worked its way through. (A cheaper grade of vinyl probably would have shown these stains sooner!) Know anything to magically "lift" the stains completely out? I am a pretty good cleaner and know lots of tricks, but I am stymied and I sure don't want to go to the expense of replacing the entire floor. Thanks. -- Caroline P. Matherly Reply
