RE: Scuff Marks on Wood Floors
We had black scuff marks on our hardwood floors, probably from sliding furniture. They were very difficult to remove. I tried many suggestions from this website: Simple Green, an eraser, the light scotch pad on a sponge, saddle soap, clear shoe polish, Tibet Almond Stick, baking soda, and baking soda with vinegar. The baking soda with vinegar worked, but with ALOT of elbow grease scrubbing with a sponge. The thing that worked best for me was a product called Furniture White Ring Remover made be Jasco, bought at Lowes. This is a cloth that is treated with some kind of oil. It removed the black scuff marks with some rubbing. By the way, it also removed the white ring marks on our dining room table that we originally purchased it for.

I didn't have a tennis ball so I just used my daughter's pink eraser. It worked! Seemed to be more effective if I wiped the wood floor spot (bamboo) with a damp sponge first, then the eraser. I vacumed up the eraser shavings and the floor looks great. Thanks for the advice on the tennis ball...it lead me to eraser.

I make of paste of baking soda and water and rub it on. The scuff marks come right off! It's an eco-friendly solution, too.

Do not use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on wood floors with a poly finish. I just had my floor refinished and tried to erase a white mark with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It took the poly off.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is wonderful for ink, crayons, markers, stains on everything else but finished floors. Do not use it on "poly" coated floors!

I have heard that a tennis ball will remove scuff marks on all types of floors.
I have seen a home made "scuff remover" on an old broom handle with a tennis ball on the end (they cut a hole in the tennis ball).
I have never tried this, but have seen them use it on our gym floor over and over...seems like it's worth a try. Cheap Cheap cheap said the little bird! Ha Ha

A friend of mine was observing a janitor in an airport who had attached a tennis ball to a broom or mop handle. He went from scuff mark to scuff mark "erasing" as he went throughout the lounge area.

Try using neutral shoe polish. This works on any number of marks on wood, tile etc. I learned this in the Air Force.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - I'm a REALTOR and use Magic Erasers for all kinds of touch-ups - scuff marks on floors, ink or crayon on walls, wood furniture, outdoor toys, even everyday cleaning. My little guy got a hold of a black sharpie and created a "mural" on my desk in my home office and viola! gone -- no trace of it! It's worth a try!
