Hi guys,

Don't know if i'm in the right forum but i thought this was a question better suited to scientists-Is there any way to remove iodine stains from a linoleum floor?The stains are nearly 3 days old but I'm still hoping for a miracle response...!

Thanks in advance

Sodium thiosulfate (photographic hypo/fixer) solution will get rid it.

Thanks for all the advice lads-turns out someone else just cleaned it and whatever they did it worked!
