Question
How do I remove a newspaper ink stain from linoleum?
Inks and chemical dyes can be difficult to remove. I would recommend rubbing some bleach directly from the bottle. Let it stand for a while and see if that works. If that does not work, you may want to try a little acetone. This solvent can be purchased at a hardware store.
Make sure you try the acetone in on the linoleum in a small section before you attempt to use it on your ink stain. I am not sure if the acetone will react with the floor (wax).
Good luck.
