Answer: No, sorry. Marmoleum Neutral pH Cleaner was specifically formulated for Marmoleum and it's top coat sealer.

Question: What is the best way to remove a stain made by leaving a potted plant with a terra cotta saucer under it? The saucer was not moisture proof and we now have have two dark stains where the pots were sitting. Probably water stains or a mix of water and mildew. On the advice of the Forbo website we have used straight concentrate Marmoleum cleaner and left it on for 2 min. This helped some but did not remove all of the discoloration. Has anyone been successful with another method?
Answer: Try using a nylon scrub pad and work it into the surface. A good scrubbing usually removes all stains. If you don't have these, check out our website for the white or green pads.
Question: I purchased Marmoleum click plank flooring from you several years ago. I installed it in my kitchen and it has lasted well. I notice that some parts of the flooring look like dirt has gotten ground in to the floor. How should I clean it?
Answer: Glad to hear your enjoying the Marmoleum. Cleaning can be done with a neutral PH cleaner, such as Forbo's Marmoleum cleaner, AFM SuperClean or our hydrogen peroxide based HydroxiPro PowerSafe. It is not recommended to use acidic cleaners on Marmoleum. Our white or red scrub pads, made of recycled nylon, work very well and removing ground-in dirt.
