stained vinyl flooring
I replaced my countertop in the bathroom this past weekend and had to redo
the plastic .So I glued new pvc together and when I opened the new primer ,it splattered on the floor in a few spots .I tried a couple of household cleaners but no luck.Is there anything else I can try to remove the stain or do I need to replace the flooring? Thanks ' Harry |

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. Joe |

Joe 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 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.
