We moved our washer and dryer to the basement from the 1st floor and the two
front foot pads from the washer left what I thought was rust stains on the
vinyl floor. Tried the vinegar/baking soda solution, but no luck. Tried
straight bleach but nothing. Any other DIY solutions?
Thanks,

Look in cleaning aisle for 'rust out' or similar product. Works pretty
well on the rust stain under the drip in my 2nd bathroom plastic shower
stall. Don't remember what the main ingredient is, but I think all of
them are similar products. Make a paste of the powder, and let it sit
awhile. If the stain is into the substrate, you may be SOL.

The pads I have seen do that are a rubber compound stains deep into the
vinyl. Nothing will remove that. WW
