Stain From Plastic Bag on Linoleum Floor?

I am desperately trying to remove a stain from my kitchen linoleum floor. I had a supermarket plastic bag containing nectarines (that were mouldy and waiting to be taken back) on the floor and when I picked it up a couple of days later, the words and colour from the carrier bag had imprinted onto the floor, I think as a result of the juice from the nectarines that had leaked into the bag. I've scrubbed, bleached, erased and used methylated spirit and nothing works! Please help!

Have you tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser? www.homemadesimple.com/.../eraser.shtml

I don't know if this is the same, but when I got my puppy the same thing happened with the newspapers he was using. I thought it was never going to come out but after washing the floor several times (with regular cleaners, I think I use polmolive or something) over the course of a month or so it eventually came out (or wore off) on its own.

Leave bleach on it for a couple of hours. It works!

i don't know if methlylated spirit is the same, but acetone-containing nail polish remover can do it.

This happened to me with a toy's R us bag. I had to use sandpaper and a brillo pad. It worked and only took about 15 minutes to remove.

Use my advice, before this I tried a razor blade and it took hours!!

It's just a funny, silly thought, but I wonder if magic eraser is a well defined product, I wonder if it works well on kids? LOL They come in messy/dirty and you wonder what they got into, right?

I had the same thing happen- I used just a ton of baking soda and scrubbed. It came out and when it was out I poured vinegar on top and it cleaned it all nice.
