Rust Stains on Linoleum
Dear Aunt Daisy, While we were away on holiday, the plumber came into the house to fix a leak in the hot water cistern. The whole cistern had to be removed and some of the contents spilled on to a new inlaid linoleum. It has left a horrible stainpresumably of rusty water. We have not been able to remove it and I wondered if you would be able to offer any sug-gestions.-Mrs A.S.P., Ruatahuna. I asked the listeners for suggestions, other than the diluted oxalic acid which we use (very weak) for rust on white material, because I think the acid might spoil the lino, even though it was thoroughly rinsed off quite quickly. From a Titirangi listener came a letter saying how she removed mildew, rust, paint and grease from her inlaid lino just by rubbing with a modern pot-scrub, which did not damage her lino even with hardest scrubbing. Another listener said she had removed rust from her lino with bath cleaner.
