Dried blood
Dried blood will wash away with hot water, or you can sanitize this area with a half and half mixture of vinegar and water, which will leave your floor shiny clean. You can also use a half and half mixture of ammonia and water to clean blood from your linoleum floor.

Toothbrushes work well!
To clean the area between your floor and the cabinets or around the bottom of the dishwasher, use vinegar and a toothbrush to break up whatever is stuck there while the toothbrush helps you to remove this dried on gunk from hard to clean places. You can also do this under the stove, under the fridge or around trim in the kitchen where dirt often gets pushed.

Wax
Wax drippings will scrape off the floor with your fingernail or by freezing with an ice cube and then gently peeling back with away. Never use a knife of any type or you are likely to cut the linoleum.

Nail Polish
Nail polish that has spilled on the floor can be cleaned up while wet with vinegar and a warm wet towel or you can wait until it dries and add a little lemon juice and vinegar to soften it, then rub a little bit on the area to bring it up.

Marker pen
Most markers, even permanent will easily rub off when you let vinegar sit on the marker area for a few minutes. You can also remove permanent marker by rubbing the stain with toothpaste.

White out
If you have spilled white out on your floor, you can wipe it up quickly with a warm rag or you can wait until it dries and loosen the effected area with vinegar. You can also scrape this up with your finger nail when it is dry.
