This reminds me of my episode with the curry paste Though I said that was vinyl, it could well be lino; who knows

Dishwasher paste. Leave, then remove. If that doesn't work; nothing will. I do not recommend you go down the path of sugar soap, turpentine and white spirit like I did Dangerous stuff

Also, congratulations on being brave enough to out yourself

Cleaning baked in stain on vinyl floor...

I here Coke used to be great for removing really bad stains. Don't know if the same rubbish is still put into it, but worth a try.

Lighter Fluid

Let it soak a while and rub it in.

Totally OT, but this has reminded me of Ozzy Osbourne once snorting a line of coke off the kitchen floor of a member of Motley Crue ... it actually turned out to be some dried sugary stuff that had spilled on the floor with a line of ants along it
