The floor in my kitchen has become yellow where my throw rug was. How can I make it white again? I mop my floors with bleach.

Try one cup of lemon scented ammonia to one gallon hot water. I do this once a month to get dirt, grime, and old wax off. Weekly I use a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid in hot water. Stop using bleach. It will yellow linoleum and vinyl flooring over time. Also degrade grout in tile.
White vinegar is a product that has had some success. Apply straight white vinegar to the stained area and allow it to set. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry.
this is a chemical reaction between the rug and Lino finish. It is probably permanent .
