Removing Yellow Stains from Vinyl and Linoleum Floors
White or light vinyl may turn yellow from soil trapped between layers of wax; in that case remove the wax and recoat clean floor. Too much sunlight can also yellow a white vinyl floor.=)
This happened to the gal I clean house for, hers did the same thing you might check and make sure the tile is not defective. If it is ok try using simple green it is a good cleaner non toxic. Get it @ most grocery stores or places like wal-mart.
This is your best answer!!!
It is called asphalt tracking from tarvia driveways or walkways- It is not"suppose to happen" however I wrestled with this same problem for months-it almost drove me to the nut house. I tried everything from kerosene to lighter fluid as suggested by the manufacturer-It's no wonder I didn't kill myself. All was in lost. It is impossible to remove, HOWEVER, I got the manufacturer of my floor to replace my floor. They paid all cost.(armstrong) It took awhile of negotiating but when I finally got a rep to come to my house, they said it was a defective finish. I then learned that even though it says no-wax floor- you are better off putting something on it to protect the finish-Future works great.
Good luck-don't take no for an answer.
i think that would be from wax build up, u need to strip the floor, and tan rewax it
