Than to wash greenery from linoleum: only effective means

Spilled on the floor, green is a natural disaster, because sometimes it's because of this that you have to change the floor covering. But if you know what to wash the green with linoleum, then such cardinal solutions can be avoided. A fresh antiseptic solution can be removed completely without any consequences for the floor covering. The aged stain is harder to remove, since for a long time the pigment in solution( brilliant green - aniline dye) penetrates into microcracks and stains not only the upper layer, but also the porous linoleum substrate.

What if the linoleum spilled out of the green?

In case of hitting the green on the floor you need to try to reduce the size of the spot to a minimum, that is, do not let it disperse in all directions. To do this, any improvised means, absorbing moisture:

• dry rags;
• wipes;
• salt;
• sand.

Salt or sand should be poured with a small slide on the spilled green. Bulk substances will absorb a part of the solution and thus prevent it from spreading over the linoleum. Then they should be collected on a scoop, and the stain wipe with rags, napkins or toilet paper. Do this very carefully, without touching the soiled napkins of clean areas of the floor. If you do not have salt or sand at hand, you can just dip the green with rags, moving from edge to center of the spot. After this preliminary treatment, it is possible to proceed with the removal of the green pigment.

Advice

All alcohol solutions, including greens, dissolve well in water, so you can not use wet or even wet rags for cleaning. They will help increase the stain.

Mechanical removal

Fresh green, which did not have time to soak into the linoleum, you can try rubbing it with an eraser. For these purposes, and the usual clerical eraser, and an eraser for cleaning suede. If the size of the "disaster" is large, then a large amount of eraser may be needed. This is more a method for small spots.

• The affected area is slightly moistened.
• It is erased by an eraser.
• The procedure is repeated until the spot disappears completely.

Other mechanical methods alone with such pollution can not cope. For example, an abrasive sponge can only supplement the use of powder or laundry soap, and the use of a fine sandpaper is a method too cardinal that, together with the green, will remove the linoleum layer.

Removing fresh spots

Synthetic aniline pigment - brilliant green - breaks down with chlorine-containing and alkaline substances or decolorizes with hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, in order to wipe it off, the following tools are suitable:

• chlorine-containing gels and cleaning powders( such as Domestos);
• washing powders;
• laundry soap;
• hydrogen peroxide;
• soda + vinegar;
• ammonia( ammonia).

In addition, you will need rubber gloves, sponges - ordinary or abrasive - and a little patience. To choose the right tool, you need to remember that linoleum is a polymer coating, and the impact of chemicals for it can end sadly. And chlorine, and vinegar, and soda contribute to fogging the color of the coating, and aggressive alkaline reagents such as caustic soda can destroy the surface layer of PVC.

On the other hand, the use of only weak alkaline solutions leads to the need for more prolonged mechanical action by brushes, abrasive sponges or even fine-grained emery. Naturally, the mechanical effect also leads to the erasure of the upper layer and the loss of appearance. When choosing reagents, you need to take this into account and observe the balance between chemical and mechanical treatment.

Household soap and powder

The most safe for floor coverings in PVC are the usual laundry soap and detergent.
How to wash the green linoleum with laundry soap?

• 4 tbsp.spoon grated on a large grater soap, pour two cups of boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
• The resulting composition should be applied to a moistened stain and left for several hours.
• Wash the soap with a cloth soaked in hot water.
• Clean grease with a sponge with abrasive cloth( for a short time).
• After a while, repeat the process.

A fresh stain can be wiped off for 2-3 such treatments. If instead of soap a detergent is used, it is simply poured onto a moistened surface, and then the actions are the same. If desired, you can make a paste from the powder, mixing the granules with a small amount of water.

Advice

Instead of washing powder, you can use a dishwashing gel, but shampoo or liquid soap will be a bad substitute.

Other ways to remove the green

Using soda and vinegar, you can completely remove the stain from the green. To do this, it must be completely covered with a layer of soda and poured with table vinegar. Soda at the same time begins to "boil" - a reaction takes place, during which the chemicals clean the linoleum from the pigment. The treatment is repeated several times until the stain is completely removed.

Chlorine-containing products are another effective method to remove spillage grease. However, there is a limitation. If the coating is saturated color, then the use of such products is not recommended: after treatment, the color at the treatment site will be very different from the color of the rest of the coating. On linoleum of light and pastel shades, this is not so noticeable.
The procedure of removal is simple:

• powder or gel with chlorine( cleaning or bleaching agent) is applied to a damp spot;
• is left for 10-15 minutes;
• is wiped with a clean sponge or cloth;
• , if necessary, the actions are repeated several times.

You can remove the stain from the green with ammonia or hydrogen peroxide, treating the problem area of ​​one of these liquids. After a few hours, the stain should be wiped clean with a clean cloth.

How to remove stains from chronic zelenki

If Zelenka had already vestsya in linoleum, scrub it problematic, although a few tips can help in this situation.

• before the main cleaning cloth cover stain soaked in linseed oil, kerosene or "white spirit" for 1-2 hours, then wiped with a cloth.
• Any alcohol - camphor, salicylic, medical, technical or ammonia can dissolve the dried stain.
• As a reagent for cleaning old stains, it is better to choose soda and vinegar. With their reaction, not only the surface layer is removed - the pigment is removed from the micropores in the floor covering.

In conclusion, I want to remind you of the obvious facts - precautions when working with greenery and the correct conditions for its storage will prevent this hard-to-reach solution from getting to the floor, furniture and clothes. These rules are simple - to open a vial over a wash basin or any capacity, to hide it from children and animals. But if nevertheless a nuisance has occurred, the above tips will help to remove the consequences: get rid of the unaesthetic stain without changing linoleum.
