Question
how do i get ink off my kitchen floor,which is vinyl ??

Answer
Stacey,

This is not really my expertise. I would go to a floor installer and ask for their suggestions, but as I understand it, inks may not be completely removable from vinyl no-wax floors!

As a last resort, you might try rubbing the stain with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on a clean white cloth.

If stain is still visible, rub the stain with mineral spirits or turpentine on a clean white cloth.

Finally, work the area with Armstrong New Beginning® Floor Stripper and Cleaner and a non-abrasive white scrubbing pad, following instructions on the label.

Let me know how it turns out.

Sincerely,
