Today I decided to pull up Lino in Bathroom before painting the Skirting
Board. I have now been left with a sticky floor. (stick to it if I try
and walk on it).


What do I need to use or do to get rid of the sticky floor.


Depends what sort of sticky it is - I'd try a hot air gun and a flat
scraper to see if that removed the worst of it, possibly followed by
scrubbing with white spirit or similar.


You could always just put the old lino back - maybe trim the edge back
if it's getting in the way of your decorating. In any other room I'd
say just cover the goo with paper, but in a bathroom I don't think that
would work too well. How about a liberal sprinkling of talcum powder?


Why take up the old lino if you are not ready to replace it?

Why ask me? I'm not the OP.
