I have some brown photo chemical stains in a vinyl floor just outside my darkroom. Any ideas what might get them out?

Doesn't seem like it's a darkroom (thread) issue if it's outside. Oh, that's right, you're special. Be that as it may, people have referenced OxyClean for stains a lot lately.
throw down a layer of mastic
then throw down a new layer of vinyl.
or oxyclean.
Indicator stop-bath, then a dash of perm-wash.

I'd try oxyclean or bleach. If you get it clean, the vinyl should probably be waxed to be more resistant.

Most high quality camera stores used to have an expensive liquid that removed these stains from clothing. I don't remember the name, I haven't used it for several years. I used to pay about 15 or 16 bucks for a 4 ounce bottle but it was worth it. See if you can find somebody in the camera store business over 40 years old.

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the great job you and everyone else does keeping this a very informative and helpful web site.
Kudos to the team!
If you have Oxy-Clean on hand, that would be my first suggestion. The specialized product will probably do the job, but why not start with what you've already got? I've used it to make a paste that got some pretty nasty stains out of past rental places I've lived in. I'd be surprised if it didn't work.
