I just got one of those MR Clean pad things that remove like crayon and all that stuff and i had a pasta stain on my fridge handle i didn't really notice is was there and there are grooves in the handle and it took it off of there not to mention theres a wall near my dishwasher and some genius but a glass in it that apparently still had cool aide in it and it splashed on the wall and that pad took it off its really mushy so it gets into the groove and i think there only like $4.00 so its cheap.

My friend had a real bad stain that seeped into her lenolium floor, it was there for years and she tried everything to clean it. She had a b day party for her son one night and someone spilled soda (coke) on the floor it went right over the stain, it wasn't noticed til the next morning. When she cleaned it up the stain was gone.

It depends how long the paint has been on there and what kind of paint it is. If it is water based (acrylic or latex) try using hot soapy water. With oil based paint you may be able to scrape it off without damaging the floor. I would try it with my fingernail first or use a bread knife. Another thing to try would be paint thinner but I am not sure if it will damage the floor or not so try it on a small spot first.

I've heard Oxy clean works well. Not the Oxy brands out there but the real Oxyclean - the powder that you can use in laundry and other stuff. It pulls stains out of carpets - you name it.

Not really. There are "layers" to the lineoleum floor. Some rugs with rubber backing also "yellow" the floor. Cannot be removed. Put a rug over the stain if you can. But not one with a rubber backing!

Try Cascade dishwasher detergent, pour a little on the stain and let it set a few min.. Its great for sink stains. Even on stainless steel.

Try Oxyclean, make sure you keep it soaking wet for a few hours.
You could try vinegar, or try baking soda and peroxide.

Try boiling water with a touch of bleach. The boiling water really does the trick for my floors.

Have you tried the Mr.Clean sponge? It's blue and white. I have lots of animals which equals big messes a lot and i am shocked at the things that this little sponge can remove.

I would try degreaser. This would be a dish soap to the industrial oven degreaser.
