How to Beat Stains on Every Surface in Your House

Linoleum or Vinyl Floors

Clean your floors every week to help keep them stain free.

• Scuff marks: Rub with a nylon scouring pad and a solution of half dish-washing liquid and half water. Lift other types of marks with a pencil eraser.
• Set stains: Treat stains from food, beverages, blood, grass, ink, and pet accidents with a cloth soaked in two cups water and a quarter cup of bleach.
