Shoe polish on lino

Help. I spilt some shoe polish (the stuff that's halfway in texture between the solid stuff in a tin and a liquid sponge applicator) on cream, textured lino and didn't notice for a couple of days so it dried.

It's not a huge amount, but I've tried very hot soapy water and a scrubbing brush, bleach and nail varnish remover and nothing will shift it!

I would try a de greaser like Swarfega (the original green one) or neat washing up liquid. You need to break down the oils.

Thanks both, will have a go with your suggestions this weekend.

Hand sanitizer may work
