What caused this? I've tryed everything to remove the yellowing. The vinyl flooring is white and I even tryed bleaching the area. Any suggestions or ideas? We have to keep the rugs over the area now just to hide the ugly yellowing.

It's a reaction between the finish of the floor and the latex in the rug backing. There are some chemicals you can get from antique stores that might remove the yellowing. Ask for wood restoring stuff.
Vinyl flooring isn't expensive and it's easy to put in. Is it time for a decorating change?

Oh, i understand your frustration! I never purchase bathmats until they are one hundred% cotton and have no rubber backing. i'm sorry, yet you will possibly no longer have the potential to do something to get rid of it. in simple terms conceal the spot with yet another mat that doesn't have rubber backing, or if it incredibly is in a gap that gets direct image voltaic, permit the sunshine hit it through an open window, that could fade the yellowing... yet will take lots of time. Or, in case you nonetheless have some remnants of the flooring, you are able to desire to diminish a clean piece to extra healthful and decrease out the previous spot and seal the perimeters incredibly properly. luckily, vinyl isn't too costly... I did locate this internet site that could able that might actually assist you, even though it expenses some $... stable luck!

There's been a chemical reaction between the vinyl and the rug backing. These backings are not rubber, usually chemical compositions.
Don't have any idea that it can be corrected.
