Hi Lori!
I've found the best way to do this is to use Vinegar and Water. Apply white distilled vinegar directly onto yellowing linoleum floors for 10 to 15 minutes, and wipe up the vinegar with a sponge or cloth. For stains that are particularly resistant, sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar to help take the yellow hue out of the floors. Hope this helps!

Buy a spray cleaner that has bleach in it. Spray on the floor and use a scrubby to clean it. Rinse well. Be careful that you don't get the spray on wood trim or clothing! Sometimes you can't get the yellow out of old linoleum.
Try one cup of lemon scented ammonia to one gallon hot water and a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid. Removes ground in dirt and old wax buildup. If this doesn't work then they just yellowed from age.
