Emma Taylor on Sep 29, 2013You can't. It's a discoloration caused by the rubber-like backing. I never used those kinds of rugs anywhere.Helpful Reply

Susan on Sep 29, 2013I have had this problem in our RV and can't get the stain off. We had laminate faux wood flooring put down. Do rubber back rugs also do this to wood laminate?Helpful Reply

Patricia W on Sep 30, 2013you can get the stains out. Use ammonia and water. I had the same problem years go. I used ammonia in a bucket of water and mopped the entire floor. Not only did this get the floor stain free, it also left the entire room smelling sweet after I aired it out. I never saw a cleaner floor! Just be sure to open all of the windows during and after for a bit. It does work!Helpful Reply

LandlightS on Oct 01, 2013Seldom do the backings "stain" the floor....rather the sun bleaches the uncovered areas as well as oxidation which lightens the color of the floorHelpful Reply
