do I need to replace the flooring?
Thanks ? '

Since it is a PVC primer, the solvent has likely penetrated the
flooring. Bad news for sure. I wouldn't waste time trying to salvage
the situation. Either put down a throw rug or redo the affected tile.
Worse, if it's sheet vinyl maybe a pro could tuck in a cpmplementary
pattern. Good luck.

had great success removing contact cement with goof off or goo
gone.....

its i a brite orange container.

a 3 year old splattered it on a floor, then walked around with a
permanet marker on the wall.

i came in took a quick look, the kid had been paddled, the mom was
crying.

went to home depot and saved the day.

the gal now gives a bottle of this at every baby shower


I like a product called LIFT OFF. I used it once to get red marker off
the back of a couple of bedroom doors and wall. Comes in a spray can.

The cans are numbered 1-5, so you pick the type stain remover you
need. (liftoffinc.com)

The goo gone makes a safer gift at the baby shower
