It had been improperly cemented down, over bare concrete. As a result, the underside was horribly mildewed. My original intent had been simply to pull up the linoleum and put down some kind of table. Well, I pulled up the linoleum, scrubbed the floor with bleach, several times, and then painted the floor with garage paint (with some anti-mildewing agent mixed in). It was horribly annoying, but all's well that ends well. Some 5+ years later, there's no sign of any mildew in that room. Sounds like the linoleum in the basement storeroom in my house.

I hope that goes away. The landing has to be vacuumed, too. And the house smells moldy now. I hope that goes away.
