Radical ways

There are times when none of the above methods work. For example, a large amount of adhesive got onto the surface of the linoleum. It sat there for a long time, had time to dry, and was absorbed into the material. In this case, it is necessary to cut off the area with glue. For this:

You can also hide the damaged area. We need to dismantle the linoleum and lay it out so that the area with the adhesive composition is not visible.

They resort to such methods in rare cases. More often than not, other methods work, and it is possible to remove stains without dismantling the surface.
